Do not be disheartened. Here’s what you need to know: there are still plenty of opportunities available to you to train to be a journalist and to achieve the industry-standard NCTJ Diploma in Journalism, such as:

  • NCTJ-accredited BA journalism courses with spaces available through clearing
  • Fast-track courses
  • Academic-year courses
  • Distance learning
  • Journalism apprenticeships

All these training opportunities lead to the diploma – a level 5 qualification that is well-recognised and respected in the industry and will equip you with fundamental and cutting-edge skills needed to work effectively as a journalist in all sectors of the media.
