Thinking about applying for Getting Started Online? Join us for a live Q&A session with our team and a past participant, jeweller Lucy Anderson, to discover what the course offers and how to submit a successful application.

Getting Started Online is a free introduction to business course for UK based designers, designer makers or skilled craftspeople aspiring to set up or run start-up jewellery or silversmithing businesses. 

During this online session, our team will walk you through the key business skills you’ll develop throughout the week and share top tips to help you apply with confidence. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions on topics such as:

  • What business topics will I learn about during Getting Started Online?
  • At what stage of business do I need to be to take part in the course? 
  • Who has done Getting Started Online? What support is available post-course? 
  • What is the process of applying?
  • What help will be provided throughout the process?
