As part of the Screen UK Hub that is already announced to come to Pinewood Studios, the National Film and Television School will be setting up an education and training centre at the iconic studio, allowing practical filmmaking to be taught at the studio.
An education and training centre is due to be included at the planned Screen Hub UK at Pinewood Studios, close to Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire.
Facilities will include shooting space, workshops, offices and seminar rooms.
The NFTS said it would help develop the UK’s entertainment industry workforce.
Films, TV series, adverts and pop videos have been made at Pinewood Studios for more than 80 years – from Oliver Twist and the Carry On series, to sci-fi thriller Alien and several of the Marvel movies.
The dedicated training facility is set to be within the £450m expansion to its current site, announced by the Pinewood Group last year, which it is hoped will create about 3,500 jobs and also include the Pinewood Studios Experience, a film-inspired attraction.
It described Screen Hub UK as a “screen industries global growth hub” based on a 77-acre site to the south and adjacent to the existing studios.
