BlackRook Academy is inviting enquiries for a four-week Level 4 Social Media and Content Creation Bootcamp in Wolverhampton. The course is government-funded for eligible learners and combines practical digital skills with employability support.
What you will learn
The Academy’s published syllabus covers content planning, social media strategy, video production, Canva, analytics and portfolio development using real business briefs.
The provider offers at least one job interview on completion, with attendance requirements applying. This is an interview opportunity, not a guarantee of employment.

The provider’s cohort announcement gives these dates:
- Course: 23 November–18 December 2026, 9.30am–4.30pm.
- Information session: Monday 16 November 2026, 10am.
- Both at Unit 49, Chubb Building, Fryer Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 1HT.
Funding eligibility

- No enrolment on or completion of another government-funded Skills Bootcamp in the same financial year, 1 April–31 March.

How to enquire
Email enquiries@blackrookacademy.com for course and information-session details, funding checks and evidence requirements.
The provider says receiving Universal Credit does not itself prevent funding; applicants claiming it are asked to show their journal and two recent payments at enrolment. Confirm how to provide evidence securely with the Academy.
