Training Courses |

The
2009/10 Courses cover basic journalism techniques
and are designed for Press Officers, Publicity Departments,
PR Executives and any other would-be wordsmiths aiming to sharpen
their skills in writing for newspapers, magazines, television and
radio.
The
tailor-made programmes, which can be held in-house or at our own
venues, are great confidence builders. The lively, practical sessions
are based on finding ideas and writing news and features suitable
for any publication, including Newsletters and House Journals, and
giving life to dull Press Releases.
The NCTJ and
NUJ approved introductory course is also ideal for anyone wanting
to earn money as a freelance or launch a second career.
