The Unscripted TV Skills Fund has made it easier for freelancers and production staff to embed training into their working lives by introducing a returning programme of short courses grouped in three strands: Step Up, Your Life at Work and Mind Your Business.
The new schedule represents the Unscripted TV Skills Fund’s commitment to continuing to offer free and accessible training to those making unscripted TV across the UK. It reflects the need for adaptability and flexibility in response to the scheduling of training for an increasingly busy TV sector.

Mind Your Business
