Led by experts of international renown, KDCS training courses focus on the
creation, delivery and preservation of digital resources from cultural and
memory institutions. Our training courses are aimed at managers and other
practitioners from the library, museum, heritage and cultural sectors looking
to understand the strategic and management issues of developing digital
resources from digitisation to delivery. KDCS keeps class sizes small in order to tailor sessions to delegates' specific needs and ensure one-on-one time with instructors.
What course attendees have said about our training:
- "Excellent coverage of information with apt description and explanation."
- "The balance between group discussion and presentation was particularly good."
- "This is excellent – one of the best I've attended."
- "It was very comprehensive – as I thought of questions, they were answered almost right away. I have a lot of new knowledge that I'll be able to apply."
- "Provided just the information required – informative, comprehensive and thought provoking."
