FAQs
- What is Access NFTS?
Access NFTS is the Outreach and Inclusion programme from the National Film and Television School (NFTS). We want to work with people already interested in a career in the industry, as well as those wanting to discover what opportunities are available to them.
- Who are these events for?
We believe a career in this industry can be a reality for anyone, regardless of their background, experience or circumstance. Whether you are leaving education, or looking for a career change, Access NFTS is here to help you explore your options and realise your potential.
