Recently, Scoreline reported that the introductory training classes conducted for the commencement of lessons for more than 300 participants of the 6 months skills acquisition programme hosted in Jos, the Plateau state capital, has come to an end. 

The introductory training classes that just ended, is part of the ongoing 6 months skills acquisition training in Film Making and Creative Media Production, designed by the African Film Institute (AFI). 

AFI is implementing the skills acquisition training programme in collaboration with the federal ministry of education, Nigeria. The institute, Scoreline gathered is collaborating with the ministry through the innovative Development for Effectiveness in Acquisition of Skills (IDEAS), and Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET). 

The IDEAS and TVET Programmes are initiatives of the federal government of Nigeria.

In that previous report, we also informed you, our dear esteemed reader and friend that the quality of the training, in terms of the content, the areas covered, and the depth of delivery by the resource persons, are equivalent, indeed by far more than the 6 months regular training classes of other training institutions or centers that offer similar skills acquisition trainings in Nigeria.
