Success stories

I had the most incredible experience at the Television Centre on the This Morning set shadowing the Camera Operators and Tech Assistants this week. I was lucky enough to be introduced to so many talented staff and freelancers working regularly for ITV Daytime, who were all incredibly friendly, supportive and, generous with their time offering me so much advice and sharing their industry knowledge with me. This opportunity has enabled me to develop new skills and gain a more solid understanding of professional production practices within a live programme like This Morning. I could not be more grateful to every member of the crew who took the time to chat to me, answer my questions and teach me something new. And, to James and Errol, the founders of Crew Room Academy for making it happen.

My first Job in broadcasting was at Talk Tv on the PMU show, thanks to the Crew Room Academy getting me my foot in the door. I learnt an amazing set of skills which I’ll never forget, I have gone from strength to strength and I’m currently working in Creative Development for an independent production company. Massive shout out to CRA as without your assistance I don’t what line of work I’d be in. I’ve since had the fantastic opportunity of working with various companies such as Netflix, Channel 4 and more.
