This was the only course of its kind, developed specifically to train up the next generation of arts managers in time for Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture in 2008. Each six-month programme gave students the opportunity to achieve an NVQ Level 4 in Management, which was taught within a participatory arts context. In addition, each student undertook a significant placement with an arts and/or community organisation, where they worked in teams to manage the delivery of a participatory arts project.

| Responsibilities included: |
|
| • Recruited and managed all course tutors. Publicised course and recruited all students. |
 |
| • Devised and developed curriculum, policy and procedures, evalution of modules and course. |

| • Through careful management of recruitment, placements and curriculum, graduates have won entry level arts jobs at institutions including Tate Liveropool, Bluecoat Arts Centre, FACT, The St. Helens Citadel and Manchester City Council, as well as independent organisations and intiatives. |

The highly successful placement system enabled partnership working with a range of quality organisations on Merseyside. With the extra capacity that our students and partnership gave them, organisations were able to undertake either an "extra" project, or continue with a current project.
