On January 30, Spok, the school for practice-oriented communication, concluded the second Media-Basic course with a graduation ceremony. Out of 16 candidates, 13 received their diplomas from the Spok Media Academy. The best results were achieved by Brigitte Ablasser (Real Media AG), Beatrice Mätzener (Basler Versicherungen), Daniella Schori (Canon Schweiz AG) and Lucrezia Seiler (Cinecom & Media AG) The next course starts in September 2001 and, according to Ronny Schmid, the new Spok Managing Director, is to be deepened and expanded in order to meet the requirements of contemporary media training even better. According to Schmid, he is sensing a growing interest in media training, but still only wants to offer one course per session. In addition to the Media Basic course, Spok will offer the Media Expert course from 2002, which is intended to be equivalent to the Head of Marketing Communication course in the media sector. (ba)
