When you’re looking into working as a freelance social media manager, it can seem an insurmountable task. There’s a lot to think about, and as it’s a relatively new industry, there’s not many places you can turn to get your questions answered. You may want to do a social media manager course, if only to give you the confidence to finally make that leap. There are a few social media manager courses to choose from, all offering something different, and you need to make the right choice for you.

How to find the right Social Media Manager course for you
1) Use Google to find them. They are out there. There are lots of them. Many will be outside of the UK, so use search tools to refine your search if you specifically want a UK-based course (this is actually quite important for finding out the correct information about issues such as paying tax, and having insurance).
2) Have a good look through what each course has to offer. Use our free social media manager course comparison sheet to compare the key areas such as cost and course duration.
3) If you spot anything on a course you particularly like, make a note of it, and go back through the other courses to see if they offer that too so you can get a true comparison.
4) When you’ve decided on your favourite courses, get in touch with the provider to make sure a place could be available for you. Some websites will be out of date and the course may no longer be running, or the course may have a long waiting list.
5) Once you have your chosen course, register your interest with the provider as soon as possible. They can’t keep you updated or register you on the course if they don’t know you exist!
6) Once registered, write down all the important dates – such as webinar days and times, and payment dates – so that you don’t miss the important stuff.
Most of all, be happy with your choice and good luck!
