 FE/HE Media Production Education Consultancy
Since my retirement from full time paid employment, I have been undertaking some media and creative education consultancy work for the International Moving Image Society ( IMIS ), which runs a UK Government approved Accreditation Scheme. IMIS, formally known as the British Kinematograph, Sound & Television Society, ( BKSTS ), based at the world famous Pinewood Studios, is uniquely placed to assure, encourage, and support industry relevance in moving image and media production courses.
The Society offers a supportive accreditation and consultation service for higher education courses longer than a year in length such as HNDs, degrees and masters programmes. It provides an independent worthwhile and recognised kite mark and an assurance to students, staff, employers and parents of a course's professional relevance. In addition course teams receive an independent consultation about their course, an independent report with possible advice and recommendations. I have been visiting the institutions, acted as a consultant and have authored the reports.

As part of that professional media and film industry society, and for the work I have undertaken in the re-establishment and re-vitalisation of that Society's Accreditation scheme, I had the honour of being awarded a Fellowship of the Society.

I continue to be available for such consultancy activity and to contribute to FE/HE courses.
