Hyper Island, who according to Campaign is the ‘Oxbridge of digital media training’, is launching two of its training courses in the Yorkshire and Humber region during February 2010. To help with the launch, they have teamed up with Inspiral who will be hosting the launch events.

Mattias Hansson, CEO of Hyper Island said:

"The Accidental Leader Program in Manchester was a great success, and we really look forward to take this concept even further in Yorkshire and Humber. We have been sending our graduates to the UK for 14 years. Now it’s time for us to start educating the British industry on its own turf."

Phil Shankland from Inspiral adds:

"We love working with people who believe the talent of creative entrepreneurs makes a big difference. That is why we are so excited to be working alongside our Swedish friends at Hyper Island - the 'Oxbridge of digital media training'. Together we believe the Accidental Leaders & Managers can have a major impact on the Yorkshire & Humber region's digital sector."

The Accidental Leader development program and the Accidental Managers training program will give directors and managers of creative and digital businesses unique access to world class training services. They also offer a bespoke program of support and mentoring. The Accidental Leader is for company CEOs and founders, whilst the Accidental Manager is aimed at rising stars that are now or soon-to-be in management roles.

Both programs have limited spaces and selection is by application and interview. Each is heavily subsidised and successful applicants will need to pay a fee of either £995 for Accidental Leaders, or £895 for Accidental Managers towards the cost of the program.
