Training
This section is where you will find information on Museums Galleries Scotland training programme, as well as other sources of training, development and support.
Training and development is needed for all staff throughout museums and galleries, regardless of role, geographic location, size or type of museum and resources available. This need cuts right across all areas of the museums and galleries sector, and underpins all areas of work, from collections development to accessibility and ICT.
Education, training and CPD are currently available within the sector in many forms, such as:
Academic programmes: e.g. the University of St Andrew’s Graduate Diploma/MLitt in Museums and Gallery studies
Vocational Qualifications: e.g. in Heritage Care and Visitor Services and Cultural Heritage Operations.
Professional Development: e.g. The Museums Association's programme leading to membership including the Associateship and Fellowship.
Museums Galleries Scotland training programme: Short training courses on a range of useful subjects, to enhance continuing professional development, with special rates for Museums Galleries Scotland members and volunteers. Please see Our training programme for further information about current courses.
Conferences and courses: Lists training events that are run by Museums Galleries Scotland and other organisations and which are open to all. If you would like to view the calendar, visit the Conferences and courses page.
