— SKILLS BOOTCAMPS
Funding to build the skills your team needs next
Creative and digital businesses can access Skills Bootcamps funding to invest in training their team. Funding covers between 50% and 100% of the training cost, depending on your organisation’s size. Talk to us, and we’ll help you understand what funding is available and which programme is the right fit for your team.
Built by people who've actually run creative businesses.
We didn't design these programmes from a business school. We built them from direct experience of what happens when talented creatives step into leadership roles without the tools to succeed, and what it takes to change that.
— WHY FORM
Sector-specific
Every example, framework and exercise is grounded in creative and digital sector realities. No generic MBA content.
Peer community
Small cohorts of people at the same stage, in the same sector. The peer relationships that go with you as you build your career and business.
Applied learning
You bring real challenges. You leave with tested tools and outputs — not a folder of slides you'll never open again.
Practitioner-led
Delivered by creative experts who understand the sector from the inside, and know what it takes to lead creative people and work well.
