ERA (Educational Recording Agency)

ERA supports the education sector by making it easy for schools, colleges and universities to harness the power of audio-visual broadcast material in the classroom. We do this through our simple, cost-effective licensing scheme. An ERA licence supports educational establishments accessing and using output from television and radio broadcasts for educational purposes. Teachers and lecturers can use licensed programmes and clips on our steaming platform to bring the richness of radio, TV, movies and music material into lesson plans.Television and radio programmes broadcast in the UK offer educators a rich and diverse source of material to support teaching and to enhance learning. The ERA Licensing Scheme provides a single point of clearance for all rights necessary for educational establishments at all levels of education to create and use resources obtained from broadcast materials whether on television or radio. This includes enabling access to catch up services of UK broadcasters when terms and conditions link with the ERA Licence.
