    SEI offers a curriculum packed with hands-on and lecture modules relating to digital collections management presented by expert instructors. Past graduates have praised the knowledge and preparedness of the instructors. One participant noted, "I liked that they were teaching through experience rather than just texts. It was refreshing to have some practical and experience based teaching. When learning difficult concepts like copyright it was great to have experts using things which were relatable to my work and use.."
