DA Diploma in Design Business Management

The Design Association has launched the DA Diploma in Design Business Management, which will deliver the recognition and skills that designers need to operate in a professional, global, competitive market.

Frank Peters, Chief Executive of the Chartered Society of Designers and The Design Association said "despite its 'cottage industry' make up, the UK design sector has made a significant contribution to the UK economy and has achieved a worldwide reputation for creativity and design excellence.

It is now time for those practicing within the sector to share in the success they have created.

The DA Diploma will provide designers with a range of business skills aimed at developing the design business and achieving success."

"In addition, for client businesses to accept that design has a strategic role to play in delivering success, those practicing design must demonstrate an ability to fully comprehend the business environment in which they operate.

The DA Diploma in Design Business Management will benefit both the design business and that of its client - a recipe for mutual success".

The DA Diploma in Design Business Management will comprise twelve targeted training modules, which will empower delegates by focusing on essential topics related to the design industry.
