There’s always more to learn about Social Media. That would be true, even if each of the online sites weren’t changing weekly. Many of you have already learned a lot about it, but applying it is always a challenge. One needs to have some general principles to work with and then experiment and learn from what happens.

Social Media Training comes under many different names. Social Media Management Training, Social Media Marketing Training, Digital Media Training. And the scope of the training differs greatly depending on the amount of time, the audience, and goals.

Are you figuring out which training may be helpful to you; What your budget is; Whether you want in person classes or virtual classes (by video or with live webinars)?

Martin Brossman & Associates based in Raleigh, North Carolina, has a Social Media Training Program, with two parts: A beginning, intermediate and advanced course in Social Media; followed by a Social Media Manager training, which teaches you about applying it as a business, whether it’s your job, part of your job, or you want to be a consultant or contract social media manager.

Update!
See the New Social Media Management Certification website website and current training: MySocialMediaMastery.com

We have in person class starting in Pittsboro, NC at Central Carolina Community College in January 2013, and we are completing our online training program site which will be available at the time as well.

The in-person training program is 14 weeks, 42 hours, Monday nights between 6 pm and 9 pm. It is not computer based, you will need to do your home work online outside of class. The purpose of the class is to enable you to strategically create and manage a full social media program for a small business (yours or someone else’s) knowing how to find answers, how to anticipate and resolve problems, and how to get the most business value for your time.

There are always lots of choices. Find out what environment best suits you, what focus you need, and what would best support you as you tackle this whole rich realm of business and social communications on the Internet.
