“You can dip in and out when you want to. You do whatever is going to help you. I like that flexibility.

Being able to go to an expert and say: ‘What do you think? I’m running this campaign and it might be a bit boring. How can I make it more attractive?’ Getting that advice and having a place to do that is great.

I feel safe because I know that support is there when I need it.”

Rukshana Ahmed

“The social media strategy course was so helpful, and continuing with the social expert course and all the masterclasses have really improved our social media and made a huge difference!”

Holly Felstead

“It completely changed my way of thinking about how we engage with our customers.

I feel far more confident in my job and I also feel like I have more ideas about content.”

Can members really take any course as they like - with no limits on how many?

Yes.

We designed this Academy to be exactly what we want from training - so every member should be able to take a course on any topic that will help with work or that takes your interest, inspires you or sparks your creativity.

Once you're joined, you can take any course, any time - live or on replay, and not worry about a limit. We love it when we can give you just as much as you need to be at your best.

What if it’s not advanced enough for me? Or too basic?

Comms Creatives Academy is for professionals already in a comms job. It isn’t for people who need technical basics.

Membership gives you acess to courses for communications professionals at all levels.

Also, in most courses we offer simplified concepts for less experienced members, as well as giving options to try more advanced skills for those who are more experienced.

Experienced communicators may encounter methods and strategies they have used before, but the course will help you approach them in a new and more creative way.

No matter where you are, we’ll help you take the next step – going from from good to exceptional!

K
L
Is this training suitable for my industry?

Our members are comms professionals from a wide range of sectors: B2B, public sector, charity, retail, corporate, and more.

We make sure that the principles and techniques you learn apply to communications professionals working in any industry.

We use case studies and examples from a wide range of organisations and we also ensure you have time to discuss how you can make the lessons work for your brand.

K
L
Will it be too much work? My job is already WAY too busy as it is!

Oh, we know the feeling! That’s why we have designed time-saving resources and flexible, bitesized training.

Making time when you work in comms is no easy task. But it will pay off in the improvements and tips you learn to create better content in a shorter amount of time.

We’re on your side, and will support you as best we can to fit this around your work and life so it feels like it is saving you time in the long run.

Membership allows you to dig into a course just when you need it, make time to take courses that will help you in the future, but also – when work gets hectic, you can step away to handle things and know it’s all there for you when you’re ready.

K
L
What if I can’t make live sessions?

No worries. You can catch up on any and all of the replays any time you want – for a whole year!

We’ve designed this whole experience to be flexible, so you don’t miss out when unpredicable stuff crops up in life and work.

K
L
I’m not in the UK, can I still join?

You are most welcome! We have students from all over Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand join us – you just have to ask for clarification if we say something that sounds weird to you, or our British accents sounds funny.

You’ll need to adjust the timings of live courses in your calendar (as we are working to British time) and of course you can watch replays of all our courses at any time that works for you.

K
L
This is more than we would expect to spend on training - is it worth the investment?

Membership is pays off in so many ways.

Investing in the annual fee gives you unlimited access to more than 50 courses, monthly advice sessions and a thriving comms community.

You’ll get world-class and innovative teaching, personal attention, as well as templates, tips and tricks that will save you time and make you more productive.

As well as being lower price than equivalent courses, nowhere else can you learn highly effective techniques and proven methods to massively increase your communications effectiveness.

K
L
How can I convince my boss to approve me taking this programme?

Show them how investing in you and your company will resut in huge improvements to the impact you make.

We have an email template that you can use to send your boss or traning manager that will outline why it’s a worthy investment.

K

We’re a charity/public sector organisation - can we get a discount?
