Training programme

Our training is now delivered either online or in person, or where appropriate, in a 'blended' format.

You will be able to find our upcoming training sessions below and advertised in our weekly E-Update, which you can find at the bottom of our News page. If we need to make any last minute announcements for our events we will try to do so via email or our Twitter account, so make sure that you check your Inbox close to and on the day of the event.

You can find recordings of past sessions, including recordings of much of the former Digital Futures skills programme, on our YouTube channel. Don't forget to subscribe to get notifications when new videos are posted.

All paid and unpaid staff working for non-National (and non-NPO), Accredited museums in the London region are eligible to apply for our free training courses. Non-accredited and NPO museums in London may be allocated places if there is space, but will be a lower priority due to our core funding criteria. Museums outside the London region and National museums staff may apply for a place, but will be allocated only if other places are not filled, and a charge may apply.
