Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve got answers… have you got questions?
What are the programme fees?
We know budgets are scarce. Training can seem a luxury. This isn’t a training programme for individuals – it’s a development programme for the WHOLE ORGANISATION. It’s business planning, strategy development, change management, resilience building, future proofing and more.
Each organisation is asked to nominate 2-3 leaders to form part of the core cohort, attending the 8 day leadership intensives. Unlimited places are available for all online workshops.
Early bird discount – bookings made before 30th December – 10% discount off programme cost. 12 free places available for leaders from under-represented characteristics.
Small organisations (less than 10 employees) £4,000 + VAT – 2 nominated leaders
Medium organisations (less than 40 employees) £7,500 + VAT – 2 nominated leaders
Large organisations (more than 40 employees) £12,500 + VAT – 3 nominated leaders

We are a small organisation - should we book?
Yes! Our experience tells us that there is so much to learn from bringing together organisations of different art form / scale / geography. We also know that small organisations can have big ambitions and be more agile, innovative and dynamic … We have lots to learn from each other and we’d love you to be on the programme. We’ve scaled our pricing structure to enable smaller organisations to apply.
What is the selection criteria?
We welcome all arts and cultural organisations in the UK. That is the only criteria.
I have access needs - can you provide access support?
