Contract Services maintains the Teachers Availability List and the Dual Credential Substitute List (found in the menu above) per a Letter of Understanding between the Producers, the IATSE and the Studio Teachers & Welfare Workers Local #884. The Teachers Availability List includes the names of individuals qualified to serve as Studio Teachers in the motion picture and television industry. Individuals seeking placement on to the Teachers Availability List must first secure placement on either the Television Commercial Roster or the Dual Credential Substitute List.

Requirements needed for an individual's name to be added on the Teachers Availability List include appropriate State of California teaching credentials, relevant supporting documentation and certain work experience and training as outlined in the Letter of Understanding. Those named on the Teachers Availability List may receive preference of employment, as Producers signatory to the IATSE Basic Agreement utilize the Teachers Availability List as an employment resource via the Teacher Referral Service administered by Entertainment Partners.

We perform monthly California Teaching Credential checks of each individual on the Teachers Availability List and Dual Credential Substitute List.
