A significant part of our training offer is delivered through a joint arrangement with Museum Development South East, in which we provide places for London museums on their online training events.

Much of the training in equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and environmental responsibility is delivered as part of national programmes run by the Museum Development England partnership.

Who's eligible?

All paid and unpaid staff working for non-national (and non-NPO), accredited museums in London are eligible to apply for places. Non-accredited, national, NPO and museums outside London may be allocated places if there is space, but will be a lower priority due to our core funding criteria.
