This standard was written by the industry to meet a skills shortage in the post production sector.

 

Screenskills oversaw its development in conjunction with a group of trailblazers including Envy Post Production, Evolution Partnership, Framestore, Goldcrest Films Moving Picture, and The Finish. The standard was approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education (IfATE).
