Feverbee Course Australia

Welcome to the Pillar Summit’s Professional Community Management course! We’re thrilled to have you and are looking forward to getting to know you, and your communities, over the next ten weeks.

The course kicks off on Monday 6 August, 2012. Each Tuesday at 11:00am there will be a weekly lesson via webinar that runs for approx 45-60 minutes. The lessons will be recorded, but you’ll able to ask questions and participate if you attend the live session.

In addition to the PDF chapters, each lesson has a recommended reading list to keep you busy! Naturally we have forums for you to discuss specific questions raised in each lesson, and it wouldn’t be a course without testing your knowledge via assignments. The more time you can dedicate to the course, the more value you’ll get. However all webinars are recorded, and you have the PDF lessons to keep. So rest assured if you’re busy juggling work you’ll still have plenty of resources to take away from the course.

On Fridays we have “open clinic” hours where we can chat via phone or skype about your community, the assignments and course topics in general. We also have some special Guest Speakers planned, so stay tuned for more on that.

If you have any questions please contact course Instructor, Alison Michalk on alison@course.feverbee.com.au

To get started – please make a start on Lesson 1′s reading, and head to the forums and tell us about your community.

Thanks for joining us on this journey!

I had the opportunity to be part of the first intake for The Pillar Summit course in Australia in 2012. The course exceeded my expectations and has given me the skills and knowledge I need to manage and continue the growth of our online community.
