Leading effective teams in post-production for HETV

Many people in post-production are promoted based on their technical skills, a significant majority receive no training in people management or leadership skills at all. This course, especially created for post-production professionals, aims to put that right with relevant, practical, supportive ideas and insights that busy team leaders and managers can put into practice right away.

Each course consists of the online session which includes breaks and a lunch break, AND a follow up one-to-one mentor session to really support you in developing your team leadership skills.

Who it's for

This course is for department heads, those who already have direct reports or are leading a team working either client side or vendor side in post-production. The course is open to those running post teams that service HETV. Please also ensure you can commit to attending the course. As you can imagine, schedules in post mean it is hard to fill places if you drop out at the last minute.

We always welcome applications from under-represented groups, including, but not limited to those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds; people with a disability; people from the LGBTQ+ community and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds. We offer inclusive training. If you have any needs which we can accommodate during the recruitment process and beyond, please let us know and we will be happy to work with you to meet them.

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR BOTH THE POST & VFX COURSE AS THE CORE CONCEPTS ARE THE SAME. PLEASE CHOOSE THE COURSE MOST APPLICABLE TO YOU.
