Masterclass and Short Course Diary

Many of the following FREE events are open to the public with an interest in film and/or a Screen Academy Wales course. If you would like to attend a masterclass listed below please contact Hannah Raybould to reserve a place.

NO SHOW POLICY...
Please note that SSAW has felt it necessary to introduce a NO SHOW POLICY due to the significant numbers of student and graduates who fail to turn up to events for which they have reserved  places  (in particular where places are limited and those on waiting lists miss out on the opportunity). 

Therefore, if you have reserved a place at a SSAW event you are asked to give a minimum of 24 hours notice if you are unable to attend (barring any last minute emergencies).  If you fail to attend the event without giving any notice SSAW will make a note of this.  If you repeat this twice you will not be permitted to access any further SSAW support or attend any SSAW events.
