Startup Partners
stART up e-course partnerships are a great option for organisations wanting to provide professional development support for geographically isolated communities, those still impacted by Covid-19 and those who need or enjoy more flexible learning options.
The stART up e-course is an 8 module online course especially designed for the creative industries.
Demand for online and Zoom based learning has increased considerably since Covid, with many people finding this style of learning more convenient.
With a threefold approach to student engagement this course has a much higher retention rate than typical online options. Students have lifetime access to independent study through the evergreen student portal, group support through the private Facebook group and weekly personalised group coaching during the course dates.
The course has also been closed captioned for increased accessibility.
Over 8 step by step modules, I will break down and guide students through the
essential business strategies they need.
With over 20 years experience working in the arts, with artists practicing all kinds of art-forms, I have developed a way of skilling up creatives with business fundamentals.
This e-course takes away all the guesswork and has been especially tailored to the arts industry and creative minds.

Engagement and feedback report
what people are saying
“I gained so much out of the opportunity to organise my ideas and plans by sharing with other people in the sector. It was great to have access to these ‘sounding boards’ to get my business planning back on track.”
“The meetings via Zoom were great!”
“For me personally it has given me the drive and focus to set up my organisation.”
“Christina knew the content well and I loved being able to bounce ideas around with other participants. “
Great course, I did a business management course around 6 years ago, and found it all a bit daunting, because I couldn’t see my studio practice growing enough to support the multitude of costs that seemed to be involved, and I just didn’t know which to prioritise. I also felt the work involved in making a business of my studio practice took far too much energy I would prefer to put into actually doing my creative work. So I let lots of aspects slip away. With Christina’s course, although it was very quick, it was manageable, appropriate to the arts, and inspiring to think of ways that I might make my practice more viable, to enable me to continue being creative. Covid 19 timing meant that while most avenues of getting my work ‘out there’ are not open at the moment, there is space to plan for options once business regains momentum. I feel better equipped to be there. I have been writing grant applications. Christina’s work has helped considerably with the vision, practicalities and wording for these applications. I now want to get one on one direct mentorship with Christina. Thanks heaps.
