This is the fourth year of the Broadcast Training Award - the only industry specific accolade within the acclaimed National Training Awards.

The awards are managed by the BTSR, Ofcom and Skillset, in partnership with UK Skills.

ITF promotes the importance of learning and development in these tough economic times, so isn’t it time you had your potential award-winning training programme recognised?

The Broadcast Industry Training Award invites entries from broadcasters and indie production companies (but not training supppliers) for separate categories of Small (1-49 employees), Medium (50-249 employees) and Large (over 250 employees) Employers.

Entering the National Training Awards is a boost for your business and an opportunity for you to have your learning and development benchmarked against the best in the UK. Winning L&D programmes are an inspiration for your own and other broadcast companies. 2010 could be your winning year!
