Do you need someone to drive diversity work forward in your organisation? Give your organisation the confidence and expertise to do the right things.

After completing the course, managers can take an exam with Norwegian Certification and become an accredited certified diversity manager.

"I've attended several leadership courses and modules, but I've often missed the focus on leadership skills. It's incredibly useful to be part of this course and it gives me a lot I can use in my leadership role. I recommend other cultural organisations to take Seema's diversity management course."

Tor Egil Value Andersen, Principal at Kristiansand Culture School

"The diversity management course really exceeded my expectations. I now have a deeper understanding of the range that exists in diversity and how this can help create value for the company. Most importantly: It has improved my ability to manage diversity effectively!"
