The Industry School
Innovative, cost effective training for marketers
Training with The Industry School is developed and delivered by experts in their fields. And it covers a huge range of topics and skill sets.
Whether you work at an agency or a direct brand, we can provide the training your people need through open or in-house workshops.
In open workshops, training takes place in a virtual classroom with attendees from varied organisations. With our in-house training, we’ll run the workshop for your colleagues only. And we can tailor them to your business’s specific needs.
Our workshops incorporate core business skills, case studies and skills practice. The sessions are immersive and relevant while our interactive training techniques make it easy to apply learning and new knowledge.
To arrange a free 1-hour consultation to discuss your learning and development requirements, drop us a line.

Business Director
Account Management – The Advanced Account Handler.
Polly was very supportive, engaging and encouraging. I came out with an uplift to my confidence and some new knowledge.

Assistant Producer
Effective Resource Management.
The pacing and structure of the workshop was fantastic – especially considering that it was online and some activities had to be translated into the virtual version. Jo held our attention throughout and was insightful and welcoming, establishing a warm camaraderie and an open atmosphere to ask questions.

Communications Supervisor for Europe
Project Management
Prior to the training, Jo and Melissa set up a call to define a plan. The training itself was fantastic. Melissa was structured, to the point and inspired discussion about how the tools can be applied. The team was engaged and found the takeaways practical and applicable. I also recommend the MapsTell personality test as the results are very accurate.
