Social Media Training Courses From NSDesign.
Our acclaimed one-day social media masterclass (now being delivered via live webinar) constantly evolves to take into account the fast moving nature of social media and features bang up to date case studies and examples. The workshop is suitable for everyone from a beginner or even a sceptic, right up to social media and marketing professionals. Our social media courses are delivered by qualified trainer and digital coach Gary Ennis, assisted by media coach Colin Kelly, helping you get better results in an efficient way. We believe every business can get what they want from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and the rest in less than 30 minutes a day. ‘Embrace The Space’ will show you how.
And we don’t shy away from the dark side of social media. We make sure you and your employees know about the risks, the dangers and the consequences when it goes wrong. The course includes a section on ‘Social Media And The Law’ which will help you avoid nasty stuff like defamation and issues around employment law. For larger organisations, we offer 1-1 consultancy, where the whole course is tailored to their specific needs. All our training is interactive and jargon free. There’s group participation, question and answer sessions, audio and video and a lot of laughs.

Real-World Business Benefits from Social Media.
Over the last 15 years, we've introduced thousands of businesses to social media and delivered 1-1 consultancy for a wide range of clients large and small. We're constantly updating the 'Embrace The Space' content and pack it full of the latest case studies, examples of good and bad practice, hints and tips. In light of recent legal cases involving social media, our masterclass now includes an entirely new section titled 'Social Media And The Law' to help explain the law of defamation and libel as it applies to content on Twitter and Facebook.
Whether you have some existing knowledge of social media, none at all, or even if you are completely resistant to the idea of joining Facebook, Twitter, TikTok or LinkedIn we are confident you'll leave our session eager to get going and with a stack of new ideas and inspiration to take your business to the next level. We run the 'Embrace The Space Social Media For Business Masterclass' every couple of months and 100% of those who attended last time said they considered it value for money, and that attending would benefit their businesses.
