No. We train to the standard of high-end television and feature film, and we open the door to people who have never worked on one. Those are two separate things and we do both deliberately.

A working unit, on a stage, with every department named and a call sheet. You are given a real job on it, shown how to do it, and expected to do it. Nobody is watching from the side. See a day with us.

No. Programmes are for women of faith, Jewish, Christian and Muslim, and those who share our values. Screenings and public events are open to everyone.

It is the top tier of UK drama production: the productions that crew up properly, department by department, with a named grade for every job. It is also a way of working. Prep, reporting lines, call sheets, and kit you are trusted with. We train to it because it is the standard that gets you hired anywhere below it.

No. Cameras, lenses, sound bags, lighting and recording kit are loaned free and insured. A phone is a working camera too, and we teach on it. What we cover.

Often, but not always, and we would rather say so now. A studio day is a shooting day. It starts at a call time, runs to a wrap, and cannot be split into evenings, because the whole point is that you experience how a real unit works. Childcare is paid in advance and travel is booked for you, so the cost is not the obstacle. The hours can be.

No, and we will not pretend otherwise to make it sound easier. Some sessions run on weekdays and some at weekends, and a Saturday shuts out Jewish women observing Shabbat just as a Friday afternoon cuts across Jumu'ah. There is no single day that works for everybody. What we do is publish the dates as early as we can, tell you the pattern before you accept a place, and build the running order around the commitments you tell us about.

Tell us the pattern on the application form rather than after. Some strands can be arranged around a rota and some cannot, and you deserve to know which before you rearrange your month.

That you will be at a working studio in East London, with a named person responsible for the day, among women, on a schedule you can show them in advance. If it would help, we will speak to them ourselves.

A private prayer and quiet space is arranged for the session day, women-only during breaks. Breaks go on the call sheet at the times they fall, rather than whenever there is a gap.

Yes. Loose fabric near a moving camera or a hot lamp is a safety matter, so we tuck, pin or tie it, the same way anyone else's clothing gets dealt with.

Say it once, or let us say it for you. Every practitioner is briefed before meeting a cohort.

You tell the session lead, not the person. We deal with it that day and tell you what we did.

No promises. Nobody in this industry can honestly make them. You get work you made, a credit, named referees and a mentor, plus the routes onward that exist independently of us. Where this leads.

Nothing without your written consent, which you can withdraw at any time. You can take part fully and appear nowhere.
