Set Etiquette Training provides eligible independent productions with access to free harassment prevention training, and two-hours of free legal consultation related to the training. The trainings are designed with the purpose of establishing a culture on set such that harassment and other abusive conduct are prevented from occurring.

Applications for Set Etiquette Training are accepted on a rolling basis.

Once an application has been submitted, if the production is eligible for the training, the applicant will automatically receive a link to the Set Etiquette Training Contract. The contract will need to be signed by an authorized representative of the production company before the training can be scheduled. Once the executed contract has been returned via Docusign, you will receive the production’s Onboarding Paperwork and someone from the Producers Guild will reach out to schedule the Initial Intake Call.

In order to submit an application, please confirm that the production is eligible.
