Short Courses are designed to equip professionals with industry-relevant skills and opportunities to engage directly with current practices and expert practitioners, whilst supporting continuing professional development (CPD) for those looking to upskill or pivot their careers, as well as welcoming enthusiastic learners seeking high-quality creative enrichment and experiences.

We also offer a dedicated portfolio of courses tailored specifically for young people aged 15 – 17 years old.

To support our international groups, we are also interested to hear from qualified and experienced tutors of English as a Foreign Language.

About the Role

Short course tutors use their industry experience to help learners navigate specialist creative and digital subjects, providing them with opportunities to maximise their professional or academic development.

With an awareness of resources and events in the East Midlands, you will manage and deliver your short course and make a positive impact on the careers of your attendees.

You will be able to build rapport with them through an enthusiastic and confident approach to delivery.

The courses are fee paying, so a focus on the customer experience and value for money is paramount.

You'll receive a management fee for preparing and delivering your short course. This will be discussed and negotiated with the Short Course Manager.

For more details, take a look at the role profile. We'll consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements.
