- If you can demonstrate proven professional experience of working regularly in the UK screen industries. Dailies work is acceptable if it is on broadcast material and you have more than three credits. Trainee experience does not count. Work undertaken at film school or in education is also not considered suitable experience;

- If the training you are applying for will benefit your career to progress within the High-end TV industry;
You cannot apply if you:
- Are in full-time education
- Are employed on a permanent contract
- Do not have a permanent UK address
- Are applying on behalf of an organisation
The deadline for applications is 31 March 2019. But, these funds are in high demand and will close when all of the funds have been allocated, which may be before this date. You may only apply for up to £800 of funding per financial year. The training course must start at least one day after your application is made – we cannot accept applications for training which has already begun.
