"Greater understanding of the digital rights environment and its differences from print publishing. I found the course very enjoyable."
Ucles Esol delegate

"This course was extremely useful – the practical examples of licensing agreements were just what I needed, as was the background on different licensing and distribution models. It was helpful that the presenters brought in examples relevant to my business. I also felt that the course struck a good balance between commercial/ financial considerations and licensing technicalities."
Newco 123 Limited delegate
