Poll: What 6 – 12 week diploma courses interest you?

April 8, 2011 · Posted in Diploma, Poll · 2 Comments 

I’ve just published this week’s Events Alert which naturally lists our upcoming events (namely Twitter & Facebook for Business on April 12th, Open for Business: the IIA Annual Conference on May 12th and Digitise the Nation May 9th – 13th).

I also included a poll about possible Diploma Courses the Irish Internet Association might run in the future to help you with your professional development.

Our Diploma in Digital Marketing has proved very successful in the last 6 months and we thought that you might be interested in other diploma courses on other topics run one evening a week over 6 – 12 weeks. We might also consider running them as bootcamps i.e. intensive week-long full-day training courses.

I thought it was no harm to throw the net wider and replicate that poll here on the blog.

We have a few suggestions below but we have also added a field to allow you to make suggestions too. We’d love to hear what would interest you but if there is anything else you would like to say on the topic please have at ye in the comments below!
