The Production Department (TPD), known across the live events industry for its embedded production management expertise, has launched its newest venture: The Training Department, designed to train and upskill production managers.
The programme offers hands-on, practical education developed by TPD’s team in collaboration with industry experts and suppliers. It targets new talent entering production, career-switchers moving into live event delivery, and agencies looking to upskill their teams.
Joe Chilvers, founder, said: “We are here to set, maintain and consistently innovate the standard for production management and event delivery across the live events industry.”
The launch is supported by TPD’s partnerships with Production Futures, Elevate Mentoring and the Production Services Association. Training courses will focus on technical, operational and interpersonal skills needed in fast-paced environments, from site planning and crew communication to problem-solving and delivery under pressure.
Chilvers will deliver the first two taster sessions at Production Futures in Wakefield on 27 November. The sessions will introduce key principles of corporate event production management.
Limited seats are available and the sessions are free to attend.
