Our course gives you valuable experience and knowledge, a taster of what journalism is about whilst equipping you with writing skills. By completing the course, you demonstrate that you have achieved a grounding in journalism to support applications. It records that students are competent and have valuable experience in areas of journalism taught by the course.
Students can move onto a degree course through universities or apply for a job as a junior reporter with the distinct advantage of having valuable experience and a good level of knowledge under your belt.

And there are many people for whom home-study is the only method of learning with the distinct advantage of being able to enrol at any time to suit you.

And you can work at your own pace - not one dictated by others. To give you a guide, each module can take 3-6 hours to complete and the whole course completed within 12 months, although it often takes less depending on the time you are able to commit.
