The course will cover: \n\nWhat to consider\nHow to calculate the budget\nMaking estimates\nContingencies\n\nThe session will then drill down into the detail on labour costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate? (what needs to be done\, by when\, and by whom?)\nWriting down a proposed list of labour needed/work to be done\nWhat information do I already have? (e.g. rates\, hours\, duration\, number of people)\nWhat do I need to find out?

They will share their top tips and the common areas that cause problems and challenges when preparing and running a departmental budget. \nThe final part of the session will look to draw this part of the course together\, to offer the opportunity for students to share thoughts and questions to ensure they leave the course with a clear vision of how they will go forward in preparing budgets. \nPART 2 for HODs\nPart 2 for HODs – 2 hour live ONLINE session\nThese are department-specific sessions and are for HODs only who have completed Part 1. \nThis part is for experienced HODs within Locations\, Art\, Costume and makeup to enable them to further develop their budgeting skills and knowledge.

They will share their top tips and the common areas that cause problems and challenges when preparing and running a departmental budget. \nThe final part of the session will look to draw this part of the course together\, to offer the opportunity for students to share thoughts and questions to ensure they leave the course with a clear vision of how they will go forward in preparing budgets. \nPART 2 for HODs\nPart 2 for HODs – 2 hour live ONLINE session\nThese are department-specific sessions and are for HODs only who have completed Part 1. \nThis part is for experienced HODs within Locations\, Art\, Costume and makeup to enable them to further develop their budgeting skills and knowledge.

To support this on-demand training there will be a series of live Q&A sessions where participants can bring all their spreadsheet questions. \nModule 1: The basics of budgeting – 4 hours live ONLINE\nLead by Alan Fairholm a Line Producer\, this session is designed to guide participants through the principles of estimating materials and labour so they can prepare a budget. The course will cover: \n\nWhat to consider\nHow to calculate the budget\nMaking estimates\nContingencies\n\nThe session will then drill down into the detail on labour costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate? (what needs to be done\, by when\, and by whom?)\nWriting down a proposed list of labour needed/work to be done\nWhat information do I already have? (e.g. rates\, hours\, duration\, number of people)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. rates\, hours\,tax status)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each estimate\nAdditional costs? (e.g. travel\, per diems\, accommodation\, overtime\, holiday pay\, pension contributions)\nExplaining assumptions made to prepare the budget\n\nThen it will move onto materials costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate?\nWriting down a list of components\nWhat do I already know? (e.g. sizes\, quantities\, quality)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. quotes\, prices)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each component\nHidden charges? (e.g. P&P\, Returns\, Deposits\, Additional insurance)\nRecognising VAT inclusive and VAT exclusive prices\n\nBy the end of the session\, participants will be able to use this information to prepare a budget and be able to explain the assumptions made. \nModule 2: The relationship between departments and the Line Producer and Production Accountant – 4 hours live ONLINE\nThis session follows Module 1 and is department specific. In this session\, you will learn first-hand from an experienced HOD from your department about how they approach budgeting. They will give examples from productions they’ve worked on\, what they took into account and what top tips they have that have helped them create and manage budgets. \nThey will also share how they work with the Line Producer\, how important these relationships are for the production\, the importance of keeping costs up to date and accurate to ensure the smooth running of the production. \nThe second half of the session\, we will be joined by a Production Accountant to hear how they work with the Production Departments and Line Producers on the financial management of the production. They will share their top tips and the common areas that cause problems and challenges when preparing and running a departmental budget. \nThe final part of the session will look to draw this part of the course together\, to offer the opportunity for students to share thoughts and questions to ensure they leave the course with a clear vision of how they will go forward in preparing budgets. \nPART 2 for HODs\nPart 2 for HODs – 2 hour live ONLINE session\nThese are department-specific sessions and are for HODs only who have completed Part 1. \nThis part is for experienced HODs within Locations\, Art\, Costume and makeup to enable them to further develop their budgeting skills and knowledge. These are smaller in depth sessions and have been designed for those who have extensive experience as an HOD in one of these departments. \nThis is an opportunity for participants to go into further detail about budgeting and cost management from the perspective of an HOD. It will be an opportunity for participants to ask specific questions about current or previous projects where they encountered budgetary challenges. \nThe sessions will be led by two trainers\, a Line Producer and an HOD from that department. \nRECORDINGS\nPart 1 – Modules 1 and 2 will be recorded and shared with participants following the training. However\, participants are highly recommended to attend the training live as the sessions will be interactive and this will be an opportunity to have your specifc questions answered. \nCOURSE DATES\nPart 1: Module O – Live Spreadsheet Q&A Sessions (mix of departments) \n\nTues 17th January  (1800 – 1900)\nThurs 26th January (0900 – 1000)\nSat 28th January (1400 – 1500)\n\nPart 1: Module 1 – The Basics of Budgeting (mix of departments) \n\nSun 8 January: Session 1  (1330 – 1730)  \nTue 10 January: Session 1 (0930 -1330)  \nSun 22 January: Session 1 (1330 – 1730) \nTue 24 January: Session 1 (0930 – 1330) \nTue 31 January: Session 1 (0930 – 1330) \n\nPart 1: Module 2 – The relationship between departments (department specific)\n\nLOCATIONS Tues 7 February: Session 2 ( 0930 – 1330) \nCOSTUME Wed 8 February: Session 2 (0930 – 1400)  \nMAKEUP Thurs 9 February: Session 2 (0930 – 1330)  \nART Tues 14 February: Session 2 (0930 – 1330)  \nART Wed 15 February: Session 2 (0930 – 1330)  \n\nPart 2: For HODs Only (department specific)\n\nART Tues 7 March (0930 – 1130)      \nLOCATION Tues 7 March (1200 – 1400)                \nCOSTUME Wed 8 March (0930 – 1130)     \nMAKEUP Wed 8 March (1200 – 1400)  \n\nBY THE END OF THE COURSE...\nBy the end of this training course participants will have learned: \n\nHow to use existing information to create and estimate budgets.\nHow to use a  spreadsheet to keep track of your budget and forecast actual costs\nHow to estimate materials costs\nHow to estimate labour costs\nHow to update your estimates as the production moves forward\nHow to communicate your budget and associated assumptions to line managers\nHad the benefit of a peer support network\n\nBy the end of this course\, participants will have the knowledge and confidence to prepare and present their own department budgets. \n Course Tutors Alison GradeCourse DirectorAlison founded and runs Mission Accomplished.

To support this on-demand training there will be a series of live Q&A sessions where participants can bring all their spreadsheet questions. \nModule 1: The basics of budgeting – 4 hours live ONLINE\nLead by Alan Fairholm a Line Producer\, this session is designed to guide participants through the principles of estimating materials and labour so they can prepare a budget. The course will cover: \n\nWhat to consider\nHow to calculate the budget\nMaking estimates\nContingencies\n\nThe session will then drill down into the detail on labour costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate? (what needs to be done\, by when\, and by whom?)\nWriting down a proposed list of labour needed/work to be done\nWhat information do I already have? (e.g. rates\, hours\, duration\, number of people)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. rates\, hours\,tax status)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each estimate\nAdditional costs? (e.g. travel\, per diems\, accommodation\, overtime\, holiday pay\, pension contributions)\nExplaining assumptions made to prepare the budget\n\nThen it will move onto materials costs: \n\nWhat am I trying to estimate?\nWriting down a list of components\nWhat do I already know? (e.g. sizes\, quantities\, quality)\nWhat do I need to find out? (e.g. quotes\, prices)\nMaking assumptions and ensuring consistency\nResearching and putting costs against each component\nHidden charges? (e.g. P&P\, Returns\, Deposits\, Additional insurance)\nRecognising VAT inclusive and VAT exclusive prices\n\nBy the end of the session\, participants will be able to use this information to prepare a budget and be able to explain the assumptions made. \nModule 2: The relationship between departments and the Line Producer and Production Accountant – 4 hours live ONLINE\nThis session follows Module 1 and is department specific. In this session\, you will learn first-hand from an experienced HOD from your department about how they approach budgeting. They will give examples from productions they’ve worked on\, what they took into account and what top tips they have that have helped them create and manage budgets. \nThey will also share how they work with the Line Producer\, how important these relationships are for the production\, the importance of keeping costs up to date and accurate to ensure the smooth running of the production. \nThe second half of the session\, we will be joined by a Production Accountant to hear how they work with the Production Departments and Line Producers on the financial management of the production. They will share their top tips and the common areas that cause problems and challenges when preparing and running a departmental budget. \nThe final part of the session will look to draw this part of the course together\, to offer the opportunity for students to share thoughts and questions to ensure they leave the course with a clear vision of how they will go forward in preparing budgets. \nPART 2 for HODs\nPart 2 for HODs – 2 hour live ONLINE session\nThese are department-specific sessions and are for HODs only who have completed Part 1. \nThis part is for experienced HODs within Locations\, Art\, Costume and makeup to enable them to further develop their budgeting skills and knowledge.
