Every year, Global Entertainment help many people get the training they require to start or further their career in the music industry. This is provided through our unique and uplifting training programmes, delivered by music industry professionals, who are experts in their respective fields, providing you with current information, and a rare opportunity to gain inside information on the music industry. Our philosophy centres on providing up-to-date and relevant training backed by a comprehensive aftercare and networking system. This is designed to assist you to achieve your goals, regardless of what stage you are at in your career, and to ensure that you are treated individually by giving one-to-one assistance throughout your training period.

As The Training Company that was formed as a reaction against a lack of any type of training or education that covered the business side of the music industry, Global has enjoyed the support and the encouragement of Industry VIPs like Ed Bicknell (manager of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler OBE) and the late Peter Grant (manager of Led Zeppelin).

On all our programmes, places are limited, so the emphasis is very much on an informal, friendly and productive environment. Global prides itself on the fact that one in four participants have gone on to become successful within the industry from Product Managers with the Majors, heading up record labels, working within the industry, to managing major chart acts and artists such as Courtney Pine, Chicane, Disco Citizens, the late Tony Di Vit, Senser, Apache Indian, Danny Rampling, the acclaimed re-mixer Rollo (Faithless), Steps and Victoria Newton lead singer of Top 10 act Strike, among many others.

Often described as groundbreaking, Global have made a significant impact on training and its perceived benefits in the music industry. Established in 1991, the key objectives of Global Entertainment is to provide quality, informative and relevant training for everyone in the business of music. To date over 4000 people from all over the world have attended the training programmes and over 500 people a month continue to apply.

OUR GLOBAL HISTORY

In 1995 Global was asked to join the Training and Education Committee at the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) to which they have regularly contributed.

In 1996 Global set-up a recruitment division specifically catering for the media industries. In addition to this they launched the first ever course in Europe looking at working in A&R.

During 1997, Global Entertainment hit the road in conjunction with Muzik Magazine and EMI Records (UK) with an educational tour of all the major Universities in the UK and Ireland.

1998 saw Global enter a new dimension as they continued to develop new and exciting music programmes in conjunction with the industry. These include some very interesting developments in qualifications recognised by the industry, and customised training spanning Music, Film, Sports Management & Multimedia.

1999 saw Global take big strides in bringing their expertise in music training and development to the United States of America and Europe.

2005 we continue to develop our training courses to offer the best possible insight into how the music industry works. All our programmes are now “modulised” and run on a “rolling programme” basis so you can tap into the subject elements that interest you as your career develops and when you require them.
