Congratulations to all our Community Arts Management trainees who have successfully completed their NVQ level 4 Management qualification, ECDL and delivered "live" community arts projects.

Of the 20 who started this pilot course in September 03, 4 have already moved into management or arts related employment.

The Vocational Arts Management Programme (Renamed CreativEntrepreneurs) has once again been successful aiding 12 local arts practitioners to develop viable business plans. Of these 12, 5 are currently in the process of accessing financial support/funding to realise their creative enterprise.

We are currently delivering the CreativEntrepreneurs course to 18 trainees. The next enrolment for this exciting and unique training programme will be mid July 06
