Skills training sessions

Continue your professional development with the Journalism Skills Academy. 

We deliver live skills training sessions (masterclasses, lunch and learns) across a range of topics, available to all. Our course schedule shows upcoming sessions up to 3-4 months in advance, and you can learn more about any of our sessions, and book your place, via the CPD area of the NCTJ website. You will then be enrolled onto the session (course) via your Journalism Skills Academy dashboard, where you will be able to find any pre-session information and access your session link. They are held online via Zoom.

For those studying the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism, we also offer online exam refreshers.
