UK apprenticeship training provider Access Industry has launched a new Screen Lighting Technician programme.
The Screen Lighting Technician pathway, which forms part of the Creative Industries Production Technician apprenticeship, is specifically designed to meet the needs of the film and media industry.
Working with the Department of Education-sponsored Institute for Apprenticeships (IfATE) and other partners, Access Industry is developing a curriculum that provides training in screen lighting for apprentices.
Access Industry said that apprentices enrolled onto the Screen Lighting Technician pathway will learn a range of skills through a combination of hands-on experience and expert training. The apprenticeship offers the opportunity to work with advanced lighting systems, master battery and power solutions, install sophisticated lighting equipment, and create lighting effects for productions.
