Production Training Scheme 

Applications are for the Channel 4 Production Training Scheme 2025 will re-open in mid-April.

On the Production Training Scheme, we offer opportunities across the UK, where our trainees get to work for independent production companies for a period of 12 months alongside support and training delivered by thinkBIGGER! 

In week one, trainees spend a week in TV Boot Camp to get things underway. Here, they hear from graduates of the scheme and Commissioning Editors who’ll give them the lowdown on what it takes to succeed. Then their career in TV starts for real at their production company - but they’ll still receive invaluable training each month from thinkBIGGER! to help them further their career.

Applicants applying for this scheme may already have a degree in Film and Television (or related) or have some previous experience of the television industry through running, work experience or short-term placements, but no more than three (3) months cumulatively. 

This year, we will be offering opportunities with Independent Production Companies in Belfast, Cardiff, Wrexham, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, and London.

Applications will re-open on Tuesday, April 15.  Please find out more and apply here: https://www.c4productiontrainingscheme.com/
