With 'The Mandalorian' spearheading its use in the industry, virtual production will be offered as a six-month certificate at the famed U.K. college.

The first intake of the 24-week certificate will start at the end of January 2022 with an application deadline of Nov. 27. Made up of six modules, the course will be delivered via weekly online seminars, with six face to face weekend workshops taking place at the NFTX in Beaconsfield, optimizing its newly installed virtual production LED Stage.

As part of efforts to strengthen diversity and inclusion within the industry, scholarship funding will be made available, with WarnerMedia and WarnerMedia Access underwriting 75 percent of the course fee. Additionally, the school will provide further financial assistance to successful applicants from diverse groups who may require the hardware or software upgrades, while travel grants will also be made available.

“Virtual Production is quickly transforming the art and craft of filmmaking,” said NFTS director Jon Wardle. “As demand for skills in the VP landscape accelerates, being at the forefront of launching this innovative new course means we can equip creatives with the toolbox to understand how this exciting new leap in technology can help build and progress their career.”

Added Karen Horne, WarnerMedia’s senior vp of equity and inclusion: “The Virtual Production Certificate program is a wonderful addition to our talent activation initiatives at WarnerMedia Access. The skills and technology that the students are learning represent the future of production, and we are proud to partner with NFTS and to be leading the way with an inclusive lens.”
