On Tuesday 27th November, ALAFQ held the latest Learning Session themed around the topics of facility manager accreditation and marketing for public pools at the Yeronga Swimming Complex.
This Learning Session was split in to two parts. The first focused on manager accreditation with the view to creating strong pathways for career development for commercial aquatic centre staff and creating robust training programs for upskilling.
The second part of the ALFAQ Learning Session focused on the topic of marketing for public swimming pools and included some great information about digital marketing best practice and social media engagement strategies.
