If you’ve ever wished you could be an online influencer but weren’t quite sure how to get your angles right for the ‘gram, fear not.

There’s now an official third level course to teach young men and women how to be an influencer, with modules covering things like how to master the perfect pose, develop a signature style, photography, visual marketing and public relations etiquette.

The course is called ‘Modelling and Etiquette’, and with less than forty people per class, students have ample opportunity to ask questions.

However, the only catch is that it’s in China.

Yiwu Industrial & Commercial College (YWICC) is a full-time public college near Shanghai specialising in industry and trade. It also nurtures specialised talents in fields such as liberal arts, management, economics, and art design.

The college welcomes over 3000 international students from over 60 countries, including Ireland, the UK and the United States, every year for various courses, so it’s not too late to enrol if you fancy a bit of a career change.
