From there accounts their annual income is £13million is this lottery, public and private money well spent? With just 1 student succeeding on average from the directing department every 2/3 years. Is this is a good enough hit rate at that cost. With UK/EU students paying close to £25k to attend and international students nearly £50k.
Would it not be better to spend the lottery money, grants from the government and the industry (Channel4 pay £150k) on placed apprenticeship schemes? which are paid for by a new organisation which would provide and manage a well thought out schemes in all the areas the NFTS covers? People will be getting trained, gaining contacts, have real world experience. I cant help but feel the NFTS, is slightly over at 80 staff with one employee on £140k-£150K, others seems to be on between £50-80k.
£13 million could pay for this:-
£20k Salary would create 650 places
£15k Salary would create 866 places
£13.5 Salary would create 962 places
