With increasing demand from industry for relevant, contemporary and practical learning opportunities, The Communications Council has now announced eight courses have been added to the 2016 AdSchool training calendar, with several more in development for later in the year.

Courses deliver industry-recognised training for people working in advertising and marketing communications. Students learn by doing with up to date case studies and practical scenario experience, sharpening their skills to deal with the demands of a dynamic creative business.

Tony Hale, CEO of The Communications Council said, “We’ve received strong interest from agencies across Australia this year in our AdSchool program, particularly in the area of Brand Strategy and Development, which has led to the same program running a second time in Sydney as a result.

“AdSchool is deliberately versatile to enable us to respond to our members’ needs – we therefore encourage agencies to continue to register interest for courses that they would like to see running in their state.”

New additions by state so far include:
