About the courses
Whatever the challenges VFX and post-production teams are facing – significant work-loads, working virtually, in hybrid teams or with clients WFH, these highly-regarded courses provide practical ideas and insights you can use now and in the future.
Each course consists of the online session AND two follow-up one-to-one mentor sessions at one month and three months after the course to support you in implementing new skills and approaches.
The courses are rooted in the day-to-day realities of working in VFX and post-production and how teams and clients are being asked to work now. You will come away with key ideas, tips, resources and, above all, increased confidence in the way you develop effective relationships and handle challenging situations and negotiations.
