Netflix and the Production Guild of Great Britain (PGGB) have launched a training scheme for Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent (DDN) accountants who a looking to move into the film and television industry.

The fully funded, year-long training programme is open to five applicants who have academic or vocational accounting experience and a passion for film and TV.

PGGB first founded the Assistant Production Accounting Training Scheme (APATS) over 20 years ago, with Netflix becoming an official partner in 2018. 

Alumni have gone on to contribute to major productions including Bridgerton, My Oxford Year, and Supacell. 

This is the first time the programme has been open solely to DDN applicants.

Kelly Phillips, VP of EMEA Studio Finance at Netflix said: “Production accountants are essential to ensuring our content is produced efficiently and smoothly. Yet, Deaf, Disabled, and Neurodivergent individuals remain underrepresented in these vital roles. This year, we are committed to tackling that on Netflix shows. We’re thrilled to partner once again with PGGB and look forward to welcoming the 2026 trainees to our upcoming productions, making our industry more inclusive and dynamic than ever before.”

Kaye Elliott, CEO, PGGB commented: “In the 20 years since PGGB first launched the Assistant Production Accountant Training Programme, our industry has rightly continued to evolve into a more open, diverse, and inclusive space. I’m proud that the 2026 programme reflects this ongoing transformation, with a clear and focused commitment to supporting DDN talent to open doors into Assistant Production Accountant roles.”

The programme offers a paid 12-month contract consisting of five weeks' classroom training, followed by placements on a Netflix production, where trainees gain practical experience and a clear route into future roles either at Netflix or in the wider film and TV industry.

Applications will close on 4th November. The course begins on 25th February 2026. Applicants can apply here.
