Kahurangi Toi Ātea
About Us
Welcome to the National Screen Industry Training Programme. Providing a Certificate in Screen Craft Skills for Classroom and Workplace Learning.
Kahurangi Toi Ātea is an Industry led programme
Screen Industry training specialists, SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE and leading educational provider in Māori Performing Arts, TE WĀNANGA WHARE TAPERE O TAKITIMU, in partnership with TOI MAI Workforce Development Council and with support from Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage, have designed an industry-led screen industry training programme for production crew – KAHURANGI TOI ĀTEA.
The programme is launching in Christchurch from October-December 2024 on the feature film HOLY DAYS, with the intention of developing a national programme of work-based training for screen.
Each course has a classroom (preparation) & workplace (application) learning component for entry, intermediate and senior level roles within a film or TV production. At the end of the course, successful participants will be awarded a Certificate in Screen Industry Craft Skills.
Programme Overview
KAHURANGI TOI ĀTEA will roll-out with the feature film HOLY DAYS, during Oct-Dec 2024 in Canterbury. The production will utilise University of Canterbury | Kōawa Studios and other locations. The classroom learning begins on the 24 Oct, which will roll into the workplace learning during principle photography in November.
Kahurangi Toi Ātea courses are divided into five strands: Art, Logistics, Post, Production and Technical, from entry level to senior level; Levels 3-6.
Each course has two components: classroom (preparation) and workplace (application). Both components must be completed to receive the qualification, although they may be completed at different times.
The classroom component is open to Tauira nationwide, the workplace component (for this particular project), will be open to Tauira who live in Canterbury only.
We encourage those who live elsewhere who wish to participate in the classroom learning (preparation), to engage with film or tv projects happening in their region. Tauira can apply to SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE to complete their workplace (application) training in their region on a specific project.
There are course fees for the classroom (preparation) and workplace(application) learning components of each course.
For the workplace learning component, Tauira will receive a nominal weekly wage.
All courses are designed and led by senior industry practitioners and Share The Knowledge Kaiako (Tutors).
