Good afternoon,

I thought it would be of benefit to your members to get in touch regarding the Victoria and Albert Museum’s new strand of professional training and museum skills courses. We have a number of new courses beginning in spring 2016, some of which could be of benefit to your network.

I have listed them below. I would be very keen to hear your thoughts on these courses, and any suggestions your network may have for other skill sharing opportunities you would like to see in the sector. Our new courses include:
