SAG-AFTRA Accredited Intimacy Coordinator Training and Mentorship
Safe Sets is a qualified SAG-AFTRA Accredited training program for Intimacy Coordinator Training and Mentorship
Mission:
As a company founded in South Africa, we acknowledge from a position of experience that intimacy coordination training is prohibitively expensive to few but the very privileged in the Global South and Eastern Europe additionally those for the previously disadvantaged backgrounds who make up the Global majority. In addition, in South Africa, we have a national mandate as a business to apply Broad-based black economic empowerment (BBE) principles to all that we do, which form part of the Government's BBE Empowerment Act, 2003 (as amended).
As such, we have always, as a company, sought to find ways to provide training opportunities for people to whom the price of global courses would be prohibitive and be considered a barrier to learning; this would include previously disadvantaged learners, for example those from the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community, women re-entering the workforce after childbirth and raising children, other career breaks and people looking to have a second career after previous experience in other departments within the film and tv industry.
It was from this position in 2021 we were able to work with Netflix HR EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) to offer a comprehensive intimacy coordinator training course, fully funded, to people with appropriate previous industry experience who would not have otherwise been able to fund their participation in training.
If you're interested in training to become an intimacy coordinator, please do head over to our dedicated website, that outlines the course and the pre-requisites to apply.
Our 2025 Intimacy Coordinator training is likely to run from April/May 2025.
For the new cohort we are specifically looking for candidates from KZN (South Africa), East, West and North Africa, South America, Asia and the Middle East, or any region where intimacy coordination is not yet developed.
If you would like to be advised as soon as the application window opens, please write directly to intimacysouthafrica@gmail.com and put "2025 training" in the subject line.
