Currently we are running; Induction Courses for New Society Chairs, Programme Planner Training, Finance & Governance Networking Sessions, and One-to-One Training Sessions. More dates and training sessions will continue to be added.
All training is currently online via Zoom unless otherwise stated. All timings are UK time.
Induction Course for New Society Chairs
The Induction Course for New Society Chairs is ran as two separate two-hour sessions, which are ran separately over two consecutive days.
You will have the opportunity to meet your colleagues at The Arts Society House and others taking up the same role from other Societies, as well as covering specifics relating to your new role, risk assessment and the support that's available to you.
Programme Planner Training
Programme Planner training is highly recommended for anybody considering or about to take on the roles of Programme Secretary, Study Day Organiser or Visits Secretary.
You'll be taken through the Directory of Lecturers and the recruitment process Lecturers go through for accreditation, as well as Directory Day, the booking process, review forms, cancellations, and any other questions you may have.
Treasurer Networking Sessions
Facilitated by Tim Nicholls, The Arts Society's Finance and Resources Director, the Treasurer Networking sessions aren't so much a structured 'how-to' for the Society role. Instead, they're an informal opportunity for both, incoming and existing treasurers to come together and exchange advice or experiences on anything relating to their role, their Society, or The Arts Society as a whole. Feel free to bring any questions, concerns, or advice you might have.
One-to-One Training Sessions
We run half-hour one-to-one sessions virtually over Zoom where you have the opportunity to ask more specific questions on a variety of topics, such as Zoom, Mailchimp, Finance, or The Arts Society Website.
All you need to do is fill in the form and we'll be in touch to arrange a time.

Finance & Governance Networking Session
Facilitated by Tim Nicholls, The Arts Society's Finance & Resources Director and Company Secretary. These sessions build upon the popular “Treasurer Networking sessions” and aren't so much a structured 'how-to' for the Society role. Instead, they're an informal opportunity for both, incoming and existing Treasurers and Chairs to come together and exchange advice or experiences on anything relating to their role, their Society, or The Arts Society as a whole. Please bring any questions, concerns, or advice you might have.
Promoting Your Society Workshop
Facilitated by Joe Little, The Training Manager, and Angela Payne, The Head of the Support Team. Rather than a traditional "how to" on promoting your society, these workshops enable Societies to come together and share experiences, ideas and advice on promoting their Societies locally or online. Open to any Committee Role or Member involved, please bring any questions, concerns, or advice you might have.
Team Recuitment Workshop
Facilitated by Joe Little, the Training & Content Manager and Angela Payne, The Head of the Support Team. Rather than a traditional "how to" on team (committee) recruitment, these workshops enable Societies to come together and share experiences, ideas and advice on any successes or experiences they've had in recruitment members into their committee or team. Open to any Role or Member involved, please bring any questions, concerns, or advice you might have.
