Help develop new occupational standards
ScreenSkills is asking film, television and post‑production professionals to share their views on new National Occupational Standards for the screen industries. The consultation runs through December 2025 and January 2026 and aims to make sure the standards reflect current industry practices and skills needs. These benchmarks shape the qualifications and apprenticeships that help train and develop the UK’s screen workforce.
What’s being updated
ScreenSkills is reviewing and developing standards for three key areas
- Production for film and TV – covering roles such as runners, assistant directors, production coordinators, line producers and location managers.
- Post‑production for film and TV – covering editing, sound design, visual effects and other post‑production roles.
- Production accounting – covering financial roles in production, from cashiers and accounts assistants to production accountants.

Your input will help ensure training and qualifications match the skills employers need today. The updated standards will support recruitment, staff development, and career progression across the UK’s film and TV industry.
