Freelancing as a creative producer can be unpredictable—from winning commissions to managing projects across teams and sectors. If you’re unsure how to pitch your work, plan effectively, or keep up with new AI tools, you’re not alone.
That’s why we’ve created the Creative Production Skills Bootcamp—a hands-on course for self-employed producers working across screen, cultural, arts, performance and live events sectors. You’ll build the skills to plan, fund, and deliver ambitious projects, while using AI to work more efficiently and creatively.
And the best part? It’s completely free.

Creative production is evolving fast, and AI is reshaping how ideas are developed, made, and shared. This training programme gives you the practical skills to lead projects from concept to delivery — combining creative thinking with smart tools, digital marketing insight, and real-world production techniques.
There is a lot of learning material online. The problem is to have someone to help you navigate to what matters and to give you personal feedback on what you should be doing. This is what our instructors are here to do, with 60 hours of human support on offer.
On this journey with you will be like-minded creative professionals. Together you can share experiences and advice, as well coming together to form creative teams that can pitch for bigger clients and more meaningful projects.
We don't just teach you skills – we give you the mindset to thrive. Running a business can be draining and overwhelming. We're here to support you with how you manage yourself, your time and your energy - your most precious resource - so you don't burn out.
As a creative producer, you juggle creative, operational, and entrepreneurial skills to make ideas happen. This Skills Bootcamp helps you sharpen those same skills not only for the work you produce, but for your own freelance business. You’ll learn how to brand, market, finance, and pitch your creative projects with confidence — and apply those same strategies to position yourself as a thriving, in-demand producer.

We created these Skills Bootcamps because most support available for creative producers hasn’t kept pace with the rise of AI. Instead of outdated tips and generic strategies, our goal is to give you the tools and insights that actually work in today’s fast-changing landscape.

We're proud of all the creative professionals, from every walk of life, who have been through one of our career accelerators since 2015. With our new Skills Bootcamp, we want to continue this commitment to finding diverse voices and original talent who've been shut out for too long. Outsiders, misfits and changemakers need apply.
The best thing is the confidence it has given me. Also, in the very first module, for the first time in my life, I was given the skills and expert advice to take a look at my goals and values and discover what I really want and what is important to me. I can't thank you enough for this.
The Business Bootcamp for Creatives course completely changed my life. Brought me clarity and gave me knowledge and tools to use and fall back on at any point in the future. An amazing course: modules so relevant and in an order that made sense to build on.
This is by far the best coaching experience I've had as a business owner. As a freelancer, I don't have much budget spare for this kind of thing. And so I've tried a few free coaching and seminar programmes before. This blew all the others out of the water.
You can apply to join the bootcamp through the form below, and one of our admissions team members will set up a call to find out more about your goals and assess whether this is going to be a good fit for you.
Please note, we are selective and there are very limited fully-funded places. We are looking for special talent, so please give the questions below proper thought.
