Make EPIC social media content for your Business
with Aaron Child
This 4-week course is designed for business owners who are in charge of making their own content. The course helps you to understand your unique style and social media audience, grow in confidence showing up online, and understand how to make the most out of what you create.
We want these courses to be accessible to new and small businesses so we're pleased to offer a couple of Small Business Scholarships on each of our business focused courses. These allow your course to be part-funded by us. If you feel you could really benefit from this experience but wouldn't otherwise be able to attend, please fill in the scholarship section on your application form and we will get back to you with an offer.
If you're paying in full and would like to attend this course and "Make EPIC adverts" and/or "Capture EPIC moments," we can offer you a discount for bulk bookings! Please message us, or state this in your application form and we will apply a discount for you.
