DA Diploma in Design Business Management
The Design Association has launched the DA Diploma in Design Business Management, which will deliver the recognition and skills that designers need to operate in a professional, global, competitive market.
Frank Peters, Chief Executive of the Chartered Society of Designers and The Design Association said "despite its 'cottage industry' make up, the UK design sector has made a significant contribution to the UK economy and has achieved a worldwide reputation for creativity and design excellence. It is now time for those practicing within the sector to share in the success they have created. The DA Diploma will provide designers with a range of business skills aimed at developing the design business and achieving success."
"In addition, for client businesses to accept that design has a strategic role to play in delivering success, those practicing design must demonstrate an ability to fully comprehend the business environment in which they operate. The DA Diploma in Design Business Management will benefit both the design business and that of its client - a recipe for mutual success".
The DA Diploma in Design Business Management will comprise twelve targeted training modules, which will empower delegates by focusing on essential topics related to the design industry. These modules will be aimed at those:
- who wish to enhance and develop their own design business skills
- who want to develop their existing design business
- who are looking to advance their career opportunities within their organisation
- who are progressing through the DA Accreditation programme
- designers seeking to understand their clients' business model
Delegates will have the option to complete the DA Diploma over a twelve or twenty-four month period, and CSD & DA members will receive preferential rates and can earn CPD points. Delegates may select from a wide range of module start dates and examinations will be held annually in October, with the first exam due to take place in October 2007, following the commencement of the first modules in October 2006.
Modules may be taken as a whole programme, or individually without taking the exam. Specialist case studies, breakout groups and exercises will facilitate learning, and the majority of the training will take place in the CSD's training suite in Central London.
For more information and detailed descriptions of modules and learning outcomes, please contact Christina Onesirosan-Martinez on 020 7357 8282 or visit the Design Association website http://www.design-association.org
