It was a proud evening for the sponsorship industry in Dublin last night when the first Irish ESA Diploma graduates were awarded their certificates by ESA Chairman, Karen Earl.
Organised by the European Sponsorship Association (ESA), the diploma is a distance learning part-time course for sponsorship practitioners and marketers wanting to gain in-depth knowledge and develop their careers. This year saw the introduction of a tailored course for the Irish market with monthly evening seminars being coordinated by the Irish course sponsors Wilson Hartnell and Onside Sponsorship.
Course Director Peter Raymond said: “Ten students participated in this inaugural year and we’ve been encouraged by the tremendous support shown by the Irish sponsorship industry, with experts offering to lecture and host seminars.
“The ESA Diploma has been running since 2012 and 134 students drawn from the UK, mainland Europe and as far afield as Singapore and India have successfully passed.”
Enrolments are being received for the 2015 course which starts in January. To find out more, visit http://sponsorship.org/diploma/diploma-home/
