Course overview

Led by specialist staff from the V&A, this course considers core topics – such as how to create products, set up shop, members’ organisations, ticketed programmes, catering and events. These will complement and support the visitor experience, whilst also generating income. The course ends with a half day Q&A with the V&A’s external partners so that participants can explore the landscape from a commercial perspective.

All teaching is delivered by experts from the V&A and includes both talks and hands-on workshops to suit different styles of learning. You will also be able to share projects you would like to develop during and after the course.

By the end of the course, you will have:
• Increased your knowledge of how to identify and develop your institution's assets
• Discovered how to objectively assess where best to focus your efforts
• Explored how to foster a culture of experimentation whereby ideas are tested and incrementally shaped
• Met with peers from around the globe and become part of an international network of museum learning professionals
