London and the South East remains a powerful centre for the creative industries and we continue to expand our training support at our head office and with our partners at 01Zero1 in Soho (Part of Westminster Kingsway College).
In 2012, as in recent years, we have received crucial support from the Union Learning Fund (which itself is funded by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills).
