This programme is geared towards businesses who have established their practice but who would benefit from either updating their knowledge, improving skills or focusing on particular aspects of the organisational side of their work.

For 2006 we are offering ten practical one-day seminars aimed at visual and applied businesses who feel they would benefit from a focussed look at how their practice is presented and organised. Our seminars will help you to:

• improve your confidence and orientate yourself and your work

• focus on your practice and how you want to work

• identify and communicate effectively with audiences

• speak and write confidently about your practice

• improve your ability to access opportunities for work and funding

• meet and share experiences with other businesses.

Each seminar is open to a maximum of 15 participants and our experienced tutors provide a mutually supportive learning environment, original training materials and handbooks.
