Professional Development
For Organisations and Their Members

Cockpit has a reputation for excellence, and our professional development programmes are recognised internationally.
We know that there are key ingredients that help makers to succeed:
- The right coaching and delivery style
- Deep-rooted sector knowledge and proven experience
- Understanding and empathy for the micro/small business model
- Community support and learning
Due to our tailored approach, makers feel seen, heard, and supported – and empowered to take bold steps in their creative journey.
Organisations can purchase seats on our programmes or commission a bespoke workshop package, created to align with the needs of your members and budget.
