Jump Start Your Film Career

What IS The Power P.A. Course?

• The Power P.A. Course includes extensive training and resources to help you get to any position in the film industry by starting as a Production Assistant, and moving up to the position you really want.

• The training is made up of video modules covering everything from how to read a call sheet, and use a walkie talkie, to set etiquette and how the different departments work.

• The course is available 24/7, so you can go through at your own pace. Some students complete the course in just a few days, and others take a few weeks.

* While P.A. rates do vary by region and job to job - rates for P.A.s across the country generally range from $200 to $250/day. The rest is just math!

• Upon passing the final exam, you'll receive a graduation certificate, and be invited to join The Power P.A. Directory, where productions can find and hire you.

• You'll also receive lifetime access to the Power P.A. Community, and Resource Center.

• The course will pay for itself if it helps you land just two paid days of P.A. work.*

Student Testimonials

“This allowed me to be more confident, do a better job and get noticed."

I had no connections in the industry at the beginning, and almost had no idea of how the industry works. I took the course and learned how to be a prepared Production Assistant my first day on set. This allowed me to be more confident, do a better job, and get noticed. Now I am working as a P.A. , but also have found myself getting hired as a camera P.A., and working toward becoming a camera assistant in the future.

“Taking the Power PA Course was an essential step in my career."

Now work full time as a production assistant. I get a fair amount of work from being on the Power PA Directory, which is one of the program's most sought-after perks. I also freelance as a photographer and videographer, and I occasionally get to work as on-screen talent. Taking the Power PA Course was an essential step in my career, and I highly recommend it to others who want to get into the industry."
