To live and thrive in the ‘digital age’, we need the most up-to-date knowledge and best practices in our industries, along with the confidence to use the latest informational, digital and data management tools available.
Developed by digital professionals and industry specialists, the Civil Service College has put together several courses on Information, Digital & Data Management to equip you for the demands of your digital working environment.
Complete Communications
An exploration of everything you need to know to build a clear, memorable, and resonant message for both internal and external audiences.
The focus of Complete Communications is to learn to write internal and external communications with real impact. This skill is built by understanding how to adapt information to a variety of audiences or style of delivery.
You will take away newfound abilities to demand attention with carefully prepared information that leaves the right impression for staff, stakeholders, and the public.
Mastering The Media
Providing industry skills and knowledge to deliver quality information and thrive in any media role.
Understanding the modern media is a must for success in your media role, helping to promote your message, attract funding, further your cause, and impress your bosses and colleagues, stakeholders, and partners alike, along with bolstering your career.
You’ll be given an in-depth knowledge of how the media operates and how to work with journalists. The course on Mastering The Media covers everything you need to know to build and deliver news reports at modern media standards. It also covers the art of presenting yourself and coming out on top of various hostile situations in an era of instant judgement.
Social Media
Gain access to a deeper understanding of social media and how to apply it for maximum efficiency and success.
Social media has been one of the defining points of the modern digital age - access to a deeper understanding of these platforms is the key to using them more effectively.
