Media courses get the tick

tictoc has launched a new web tool for Skillset to help people search for creative and media courses in the UK.

The new course search allows users to search a UK-wide database of courses, which are provided by a range of universities, colleges and private training providers. Users can register their details, subscribe to a range of enewsletters, and return to a list of courses they are interested in that they have previously saved. Sounds pretty simple to us! We have also added an integrated twitter stream and a latest news section so that Skillset can keep users updated with recent news and events.

Whether you are looking to break into the creative media industries or you are already working in them, the new and improved database holds information on those courses which are funded by Skillset to make them affordable.

In addition, Skillset has also awarded some courses and institutions the ‘Skillset Tick’. These have been through a rigorous assessment process to make sure that they are of the highest quality, have been endorsed by the industry and are best suited to prepare you for a job in  creative media.

Gary Townsend, Executive Director of Corporate and Business Affairs at Skillset said: It has been a pleasure to work with tictoc on this microsite. They understood the tight schedule we were working to, so collaborated closely with us to deliver on time and on budget a website that will be an invaluable resource for people in our industries to find the best media training to advance their careers.”

Skillset is supporting the UK’s creative media industries by helping individuals and businesses to find the right training, and ensuring that the industry has a supply of the people with the right skills to help it succeed.
