What All Spring Media Limited does

All Spring Media Limited is a UK-based independent training provider founded in 2011 and headquartered in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, specialising in Skills Bootcamps that prepare individuals to enter or progress within the screen industries, including Film, High-End Television (HETV), Unscripted and VFX. The company operates a portfolio of ten distinct bootcamp programmes covering entry-level roles (Production Assistant, Runner, Arts and Props Assistant) and progression roles (3rd Assistant Director, 2nd Assistant Director, Production Coordinator, Production Manager, Location Manager, VFX Production). Training is delivered in-person by active industry professionals, primarily at the Chesham training facility with additional delivery at Sky Studios Elstree, Farnborough International Studios and other partner locations.

The business model is fundamentally a publicly-funded training operation. All bootcamps are free to eligible learners aged 19+ and fully funded through UK government and local authority commissioning, including the Department for Education, Buckinghamshire Council, Hertfordshire County Council and Hampshire Council. A secondary commercial layer is the All Spring Talent Pool, a sub-brand acting as a curated marketplace connecting graduates with approved production employers. Studio partners such as Sky Studios Elstree, Pinewood Studios, Farnborough International Studios, Amazon MGM Studios, Aardman Animation and ScreenSkills function as co-design and placement collaborators rather than paying customers. The organisation uses the PICS Learner Management System (One Advanced) for applications and learner administration, has 13 employees, holds a Good Ofsted rating from February 2024, and has supported over 1,000 individuals into creative industries since inception, with approximately 200 trained in 2024 and a 50% placement rate.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• National Film and Television School (NFTS): The UK's leading specialist film school offering MA, certificate and short-course training across production disciplines. NFTS is the most established education provider in the same space ASM occupies, though its model is degree-based and full-time rather than short-form bootcamps.
• Ravensbourne University London: Specialist higher education institution offering industry-engaged courses in broadcast, media production and related creative disciplines. Comparable to ASM in industry-led creative skills training, though at degree rather than bootcamp level.

Emerging players

• ThinkSpace Education: UK provider of online and short-form training in film scoring, composition and screen music production. Adjacent in delivering accessible screen-industry short courses with a niche technical focus.

Others

• Film London: London's screen agency running workforce development and talent programmes for the capital's film/TV sector. Overlaps with ASM's policy and skills-development remit at a regional level.
• ScreenSkills: UK industry skills body for the screen industries — ASM's named partner and an active commissioner/funding body for training programmes. Not a direct competitor but the closest ecosystem-level peer because of its role in shaping workforce development policy and funding.
• BAFTA Crew: BAFTA's career development programme supporting emerging talent in film, games and television. Adjacent to ASM in audience and purpose (early-career screen talent development) but framed as membership/mentorship rather than training delivery.

Direct peers

• Central Film School London: London-based film school offering practical, industry-focused training across filmmaking disciplines. Comparable to ASM in targeting aspiring production crew but operating primarily as a degree-granting institution.
• Creative Media Skills: UK provider of short-form, industry-led film and TV training courses and bootcamps with similar target audience of aspiring crew. Closest direct competitor to ASM's Skills Bootcamp model in the UK screen training market.
• MetFilm School: London-based film school delivering short courses, certificates and degree programmes in screen production disciplines including production, direction and AD-adjacent roles. Most directly comparable to ASM on short-form, industry-led film/TV training in the UK.
• London Film School: Specialist film school offering MA programmes and short courses in filmmaking disciplines. Overlaps with ASM on screen industry skills training, though predominantly degree-based.
