Looking to train up your team? You can block-book one of our existing CPD courses (with a custom branded online classroom), or alternatively, book an entirely bespoke learning experience.
Tailored to your organisation’s learning objectives, our bespoke training focuses not just on the building blocks every successful story needs, but why this relates to your sector and your goals.
Your team will put their learning into practice with real-world projects specified by you, whether you’re a media company looking to move into podcasts, a production company working on a new idea, or a start-up looking to build brand trust.

What people say
Russell Finch
Former Managing Partner, Somethin’ Else
“I wanted to say how brilliant the course was. It really transformed the way we discuss ideas. For my team it was a real step change, giving them a shared vocabulary and improving everyone’s ability to feedback on each other’s work in a positive collaborative way.”
Luned Whelan

“The fact that the JYS team wanted to find out more about our requirements in order to ensure that we received the most appropriate [professional training] was greatly appreciated. It was great to get options on the practical task…and it was a perfect fit.”
