Many people in post and VFX are promoted based on their technical skills, a significant majority receive no training in people management or leadership skills at all. These courses, especially created for post and VFX 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
The courses are for department heads, those who already have direct reports or are leading a team working either client side or vendor side in post or VFX.
The courses are open to those running post or VFX teams that service HETV. Please ensure you can commit to attending the course. As you can imagine, schedules in post and VFX 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.
