What people are saying about the course
A must-take course for Communities of Practice
“I wish I had taken this course before starting a CoP, but regardless, it has given me practical steps I can take now to improve the CoP.
This should also be taken by any organisational leaders thinking about having CoPs in the organisation, so they better understand what they are for and how they can be successful within an organisation.”
Andrew Symonds | ★★★★★
Insightful, structured and engaging
“Emily has clearly invested a great deal of thought and experience into crafting this course. Drawing on years of working within communities of practice, she’s created a practical, well-structured program that equips learners with the tools to take immediate action. The core principle—supporting others and sharing challenges—is something many will recognize. The real value lies in turning that principle into a consistent, lived reality in organisations through communities. Through engaging presentations and thoughtfully designed materials, Emily’s course offers a clear path to making that happen.“

Building Successful Communities of Practice – Exceptional course, highly recommended
“Emily does such a good job at explaining what a CoP is, what it isn’t, what it should be and where things may be going wrong.
A great set of videos which I really enjoyed watching and learning from!”
Joe Stubbs | ★★★★★
Great, useful and really enjoyable
“Whether you are taking your first forays into building a Community or have experience in the field and are looking for practical tips to sustain and mature an existing CoP, this is a fantastic course delivered by a world-class expert in the field.
Additional course features such as viewable discussion topics from others completing the course are beneficial and help to build a community in of themselves, and Emily’s immediate responses to my own discussion topics provided constant insights which helped me refine my own outputs and thinking. There is no better learning aid, set of tools, or teacher for anyone wanting to build and improve a Community of Practice themselves.”
