How To Be A Community Manager

There is no fixed path to becoming a Community Manager. 

I learned to be a Community Builder on the job. I already had experience in various business disciplines. But I also got training and collaborated with others to ensure my community had what it needed to prosper.

One way to learn the ropes is through training courses. 

I started taking community management classes in 2020 when they came more prevalent. 

Here are some Community Management courses I found online:

  • The CR Academy by The Community Roundtable. Established 2009. (Rachel Happe)

  • Community Management Academy by Feverbee. Established 2010. (Richard Millington)

  • Khoros Training & Certification (for Khoros users)

  • Online Community Management Intensive (University of Melbourne) (Jennifer Beckett)

  • Managing Social Media Communities: Intensive (University of Sydney) (Venessa Paech)

  • Community Management Specialist by Digital Marketer (Suzi Nelson)
