I found P.A. Bootcamp to be an invaluable source of useful information and insight about the industry. The instructors did an excellent job and the material was very well prepared. Not only do I understand the role and responsibilities of Set and Office PAs, but also understand more about the roles of the entire crew and filming process. I was amazed how much I got out of it! Thanks to their staff referral I was called to work as an P.A. for the NBC show, The Office. - Michael W.
