This module is for anyone asked to support a new entrant on their first placement.

It's a handy best practice guide to help ensure the placement goes smoothly for everyone involved. Whether you've done this before as a supervisor or HOD – or if it's your first time – these tips can increase the chances of success for the trainee and for the production.

These guidelines - including a  downloadable checklist - can help ensure that every placement is a constructive experience for both parties and you will set the trainee on a path to continue building their competency and skills.

You will receive a certificate when you complete this module. It can be downloaded from your profile dashboard.

This module was created in addition to the From script to screen: an introduction to how scripted content gets made e-learning series. It contains a host of useful learning and tips to help people who are progressing in their careers to understand more about how scripted content is made and the roles and responsibilities within it.

For subtitles, click on the menu button on the top right of the screen and then the closed captions [cc] button on the top left.
