Learning at work for events professionals

For individuals

All of our training solutions are work-based which means you don't need to take too much time out to attend classes - you'll study at occasional workshops and online. Key to this is that all learning is based on your workplace, which means that everything learnt is directly relevant and is applied straight away for visible and immediate impact.

Degrees

For companies

We can work with you to design a bespoke training programme that specifically meets your business requirements. We've already developed successful programmes with a number of partners, including Showsec, Chatsworth and Southwater Events Group.
