No. The Script & Screenplay Writing course at DigiAura is designed for beginners to screenwriting. A love of stories and film is the primary qualification.

A willingness to write, receive feedback, and rewrite is the key requirement.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but technically a screenplay refers specifically to a script written for a film — containing scene headings, action lines, and dialogue formatted for the screen. A script is a broader term that can refer to any written narrative format including TV episodes, web series, plays, and radio dramas. DigiAura's course covers screenplay format specifically while also introducing adaptation for TV and web formats.
