The Learning Social Media By Doing Course is a follow up course to the popular Social Media Starter Course developed and delivered by Real Fresh TV.

Designed to provide a structured environment for practising some of the skills learnt during the Social Media Starter Course, it’s a more 'hands on two hour workshop than it’s ‘theoretical precedent’ involving practical problem solving using social media tools like Twitter.

Attendees will need:

•    A wifi-enabled laptop
•    An account on one of the following social media platforms:
    o    Twitter
    o    WordPress.com
    o    Blogger.com
    o    Typepad.com

Expect an interactive two hours in which your understanding and experience of social media is stretched beyond what you thought possible!

The course is still being developed, more details to come.  Watch this space!
