Social media & digital training

How we help teams identify missing skills and build confidence through tailored training and coaching

We offer training, coaching and self-paced learning to equip your team with the skills they need to be effective communicators in a digital world.

Our training is available in-person and virtually and in a number of different formats to suit every organisation size and budget.  We’ve helped coach leaders and digital specialists, and raise basic digital skills across large organisations.

Everything we do is underpinned by three key principles:

  1. Establishing what suits your team and organisation, to find the channels and techniques that fit your sector, location and brand
  2. Building confidence through practical experience, not just theory or case studies
  3. Supporting your team to learn, with follow-up tools, templates and resources they can use right away
The video training course delivered by Helpful Digital has helped me feel infinitely more confident in my own abilities to shoot and edit video.

Tailored learning
There’s no one size fits all with our training services. We work with you to understand your needs to ensure the training is exactly what participants needs, aimed at the right skill level and filled with real-life examples, practical tasks and useful resources. Traning can be run over one day or over a series of weeks, whatever works best for you.

Refined and improved
As well as keeping our skills sharp and our knowledge up to date, we’re always working to iterate our digital training services. Using feedback from training thousands of people, we regularly refine and improve our training to ensure your staff receive the best training possible.

Integrated
Our training can be used alongside other services we offer including Social Simulator, our crisis exercise platform as well as digital consultation and review projects.
