*Covid-19 Prevention Training is no longer mandatory. The training is still available for those who would like to take it.
As studios begin asking Animation Guild members to return to work it’s important to be aware of what requirements you need to fulfill in order to do so safely.
In September 2020, the Producers and the Hollywood Unions (including The Animation Guild) agreed in the COVID-19 Return to Work Agreement that all Union members are required to complete a COVID-19 Prevention Training through Contract Services, an entity created by the Producers to provide training to the motion picture and television industry. The training takes about 30 minutes to complete.
