Creative Media Skills is an industry training organisation in Pinewood Studios that specialises in art department skill short courses such as
Prop Design, Model Making, Prosthetics, Costume, Wigs and Special Effects.

Introduced to deal with a skills shortage in the industry, what makes it stand out are that all courses are taught, not by academic teachers, but by industry verteran supervising professionals who have been responsible for some of the top physical :

Art Department, Special Effects, Props, Sec Decoration, Mininature Modelmaking, Makeup, Costume, Film Sets and more in the movie industry building reputations over decades with films including some of the Star Wars films, Kingsmen, Stardust, Batman, Blade Runner, Willy Wonka and the Chronicles of Narnia etc.

Unlike my previous two 1 week short courses this UAL professional diploma, was a 1 year intensive course which has now joined with

Buckingham College Group to enable them to run the course characterised by the tutors all being senior high end film industry professional veterans who are now training and mentoring the next generation of practical film making technicians:
