Meet our ScreenSkills Select industry evaluators
Throughout the ScreenSkills Select endorsement process, courses receive invaluable industry input from our team of highly-regarded industry evaluators. They assess each course against set criteria at each stage of the application process and provide annual feedback to help courses further strengthen their links and relevance to industry.
All our industry evaluators are current and relevant practitioners within the film, TV, animation, VFX and games sectors. Our rigorous criteria for recruiting evaluators have been developed in conjunction with ScreenSkills Select industry advisory group.
We require ScreenSkills Select evaluators to have a demonstrable track record in the industry with at least one production credit on a distributed work within the past 18 months, and/or hold a senior role responsible for hiring talent to productions or companies.
