Education

BCSC has a firm commitment to education and training. We are proud to have been part of implementation of the Nationals Skills Academy for Retail by funding the ‘How to Guide’ in setting up a skills workshop.

Other education offers include:
BCSC Diploma in Shopping Centre Management
This two-year diploma course provides well-recognised formal qualifications for shopping centre managers. Over 500 shopping centre managers have completed the course successfully, with some 40 new students entering the diploma course each year. An Advisory Board, set up in conjunction with The College of Estate Management, Reading, oversees the course’s progress and development.

In support of the government’s Talent and Skills agenda, BCSC is working with Business in the Community and a range of other partners including the DCSF to launch Talent Week: a key initiative aiming to use the space in retail centres to encourage the development of individual talents among young people, and to promote the importance of nurturing talent to a wide stakeholder group.
