Tailor-made Training

One size doesn’t fit all. So why not find out about our Tailor-Made Training packages which suit groups of any description?

tailor-made training

The University of the Arts London has a growing reputation for the work it does with its associated industries and has an unrivalled base of creative knowledge and expertise available to business, not just creative business but all businesses. Many organisations choose to send individuals on one of our Short Courses that are scheduled throughout the year as evening, Saturday or intensive daytime courses so they can fit around busy work commitments. However, we’re also able to create a bespoke course for companies who have a number of delegates with similar training needs. Courses can either be selected from our Short Course portfolio, or adapted and customised for particular training needs. So whether it is to stimulate creativity in the workplace or for more practical purposes, we can tailor a course to meet the needs of your company or team. The timing and venue can be determined according to your business needs.

Programmes And Tours

We tailor make study programmes and tours for study groups of students from overseas educational institu-tions — anything from a one day course to two-week courses in specialist subject areas — popular subjects, include Interior Design, Fashion, Graphic Design, Letterpress, and Art History. We harness the expertise and resources of three world-class colleges, not forgetting London’s museums, galleries and exhibitions.

Marketing and Communication Training

We have expanded our marketing and communication range of courses. See page 48 for full course descriptions. All of the courses can be run privately for your own group of staff.

Tailor-Made Training

We have a growing reputation for working with our associated industries. But our creative knowledge and expertise can be applied to any kind of business. Many organisations send their people on our estab-lished Short Courses. But we’re often asked to create Tailor-Made Short Courses for groups of people from the same company. You can either choose courses from our Short Courses or we can customise a course to suit the training needs of your team. Either way, we will arrange a time and venue that suits you.

Team-Building Days

Many businesses and organisations recognise the importance of teamwork and look for opportunities to stretch their employees’ horizons in new ways. Designed for up to 12 people we can construct a day in which your team can work creatively together. The focus can be artistic: drawing/painting/design or business related, for example, Promoting Yourself and Your Ideas, or Managing Creativity in Design.

Case Study

WaterAid works in 26 countries helping some of the world’s poorest people gain access to safe water, improved hygiene and sanitation. Staff have to engage with the public and supporters about their work on a regular basis. Writing good copy is crucial to this, so they decided to run a range of internal courses to help develop employees’ skills. Tamsin Maunder — Multimedia & Communications Services Manager at WaterAid — had been on a few writing courses and felt a bespoke course could greatly benefit the team. ‘We worked together to create four Short Courses suitable to our needs ranging from business writing and grammar to effective writing and the art of persuasion. We ran a range of these throughout the year encouraging as many staff as possible to attend. We had really positive feedback from the courses and feel they were of real value to our organisation. We’d certainly look to do something similar in the future.’

Case study

‘With a toddler to look after half the week, I chose Chelsea modular courses in Interior Design as they gave me the discipline of tuition alongside the flexibility of home study. I also thought it was great value for money. Whilst studying all three modules, I did Technical Drawing and Vectorworks, which complemented my learning. I gained excellent workplace knowledge and, with the guidance of my tutors, left with a portfolio good enough to get work experience in a prestigious London interior design firm. I’m now planning to start my own business and take on freelance work.’ J. Hodgson-Barker.

Painting Inspired by Turner

Who should attend

Anyone interested in learning to develop their own painting by studying the techniques and effects used in Turner’s time. It’s ideal if you’re looking to develop your painterly approach.

Course Detail

Turner’s powerful evocation of the landscape and his revolutionary use of paint have inspired generations of artists. Become one of them as we introduce you to the effects and techniques this influential artist used. We will explore Turner’s works in Tate Britain’s Clore Gallery to look at the ways pigments are mixed into oil paints, then use the methods to produce your own studies and finished works. Turner himself responded to the works of the great painters of his day, so we feel he would only approve of our course!

Course Outcomes

You’ll have developed an appreciation of the painting techniques used by Turner, and honed your own through a visual investigation of his works. You’ll have increased knowledge of oil painting, as well as under-standing of the way Turner and his contemporaries worked with their materials and subject matter.

Sustainable Textiles

Who should attend

Textile or fashion designers who want extra training on sustainable design concepts. It will also suit interior designers and anyone with a general interest in the subject.

Course Detail

Environmental issues play an increasingly important role in the textile industry, so we’ve designed this course as an overview of current sustainable fashion and textile design, and an introduction to sustainable dye and print techniques. Mornings will feature seminars where we’ll consider key concepts and theories, and the afternoon will involve hands-on exploration through practical work in the print and dye labs. Techniques you will learn include natural dyeing, flocking & foiling and screen printing with stencils. Your course tutor, Clara Vuletich, is a renowned printed textile designer and sustainable design researcher.

Course Outcomes

You’ll leave with an understanding of the latest thinking in sustainable textile and fashion design. What’s more, you’ll take away samples of the dyeing and printing experiments, not to mention resource sheets contain-ing reading lists and key texts and web links. You’ll also be encouraged to apply the ideas you’ve learnt to your own practice.

Wallpaper Design

Who should attend

Amateurs and designers who want to learn about basic screen printing on to paper. It may be particularly helpful for interior designers who want to understand image or pattern placement in a room.

Course Detail

On this course with the renowned printed-textile designer and sustainable design researcher, Clara Vuletich, you will learn that in some ways it’s easier to learn basic screen printing techniques on paper than printing on fabrics. Inspired by Modernist geometrics and the current trend for African-inspired patterns, Clara will lead you through the process of creating a simple geometric print. You will do this using a moodboard and learn how to accomplish basic screen printing using stencils and screen exposures. Rather than generate repeat patterns, you’ll make sections of different patterns, like a ‘sampler’. Clara runs workshops internationally and she’ll include tips on sustainable print techniques and materials.

Course Outcomes

You’ll leave with several samples and at least one two- metre length of printed wallpaper that can be glued to the wall or made into a removable wall piece

15 Events outside our control We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance, in whole or part, of any of our obliga- tions arising from or attributable to acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond our reasonable control including, but not limited to strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving our workforce or the workforce of any other party), acts of God, wars, riots, civil commotions, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order, rules, regulations or directions, accidents, breakdowns of plant or machinery, fires, floods, storms, pandemics, epidemics or other outbreaks of disease or infection, or failure in the public supply of electricity, heating, lighting, air conditioning or telecommunications equipment.

16 Certificates To achieve a certificate of attendance you must attend at least 80% of the course. You will be presented with a certificate at the end of the course. The name given on the booking form will be the one that appears on the certificate. With the exception of the Study Abroad programmes it is not feasible to examine and grade your work. Therefore the certificate of attendance is not a qualification. If you miss the last session due to reasons for which we are not responsible then a replacement certificate can be sent although you may be required to provide a stamped addressed envelope for this service. If for any reason you do not receive a certificate for reasons that we are responsible for then a replacement will be sent in the post free of charge once your attendance has been verified by the course register or tutor. You may also collect a certificate from the Short Course Office with prior arrangement. Replacement certificates can be produced up to one year after completion of your course but will incur a fee of £30.

17 Materials and equipment17.1 The course fee includes the cost of basic materials which will be provided.

17.2 Please see the course description in our brochure and website for details of the additional materials which you will need.

17.3 Failure to bring the required materials will delay your progress on the courses.

17.4 Unless otherwise agreed in advance, the course facilities are only available for use during the course hours and not at other times.

18 English All classes are taught in English. Applicants whose first language is not English should note that they are required to be proficient in written and spoken English and be able to participate in group discussions and presentations in English. As a guideline we would expect you to have an IELTS score of 4.5 for practical courses and 6.0 for lecture courses. University of the Arts London also offers English courses for overseas students (please call +44 (0)20 7514 7261 for more info).

19 Student conduct Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and to recognise that other students also require support and assistance. If a student becomes persistently disruptive we reserve the right to offer a verbal or written warning and, if this does not resolve the situation, we may, at our discretion, require the student to leave the course and we may exclude the student from our premises.

20 Bank holidays Normally there are no Monday classes on bank holiday weekends, published course dates reflect this.

21 Recording Due to copyright, and to respect other participants, the use of audio

and/or visual recording is not permitted during any course.

22 Health & Safety Students are asked to wear appropriate clothing and footwear to practical classes. This will be dis- cussed with you on the first day of your course or else will be referred to in the materials list. Students who fail to comply with health and safety rules will be unable to participate in practical classes.

23 Course location You will be advised of your course location in your booking confirmation letter. Please be advised that course locations may occasionally change due to operational reasons.

Booking Terms and Conditions continued.
