IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to the continuing Covid 19 circumstances the 2020 sessions of the Diploma course are now being provided via remote Zoom lectures, followed by candidates’ assignments to be completed and diploma awards being made.
NABMA is closely monitoring the situation and is preparing its methodology for delivering the DMA in 2021. Potential candidates are invited to register their interest for the 2021 Diploma course with Steve Pickering, NABMA’s Professional Development Consultant at diploma@nabma.com
One of NABMA’s priorities is to provide training and development opportunities to all those involved with the management of markets in order to promote the high degree of professionalism that exists within the industry.
Nabma training is delivered in different formats:
Continuing Professional Development
A series of one day CPD events on specialist subjects affecting markets.
Plans for 2020 include topics such as:
“Crowd Science”, managing large crowds safely with reference to Christmas markets and other specialist market events.
“Budget Management”, how to develop financial budgets and source external income.
Further details on CPD events for 2020 will be circulated soon, and Nabma is always happy to consider requests for other areas of training from members (subject to demand)
Diploma in Market Administration
The Diploma provides an excellent introduction to many aspects of markets administration and is recognised as the premier markets qualification for local authority and private market operators – and those from allied organisations.
Why obtain the diploma?
