Led by the European Sponsorship Association (ESA) in partnership with Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy and Cause4, the first ever dedicated arts and culture certificate in sponsorship ran very successfully in 2015.

Of the initial group of students undertaking the certificate, the examiners awarded two Distinction grades and seven Commendation grades. The course tasked the graduates with a variety of assignments with the aim of helping them to develop specific best-practice commercial skills for the direct benefit of their organisations. Find out more via this link.
