BECTU Vision Training Survey

 
 25% of survey complete.
The BECTU Vision Project was set up to create short course opportunities for freelance Film & Television practitioners in Scotland. There is limited funding available so we want to be strategic and responsive to industry freelancers' requirements.

We'd like to know what you think about the courses we've offered and what else you'd like us to do. Help us by completing this short questionnaire and giving us your views. We have a fantastic opportunity here to provide the best possible bespoke training and want to get the most out of it. It's for you, so this is your chance to make your voice heard!
