Part-time multimedia journalism diploma – News Associates (remote)
Our remote part-time course gives you the opportunity to join our flexible and award-winning NCTJ journalism training without the need to travel.
We understand your studies have to fit in around demanding work and family commitments.
Our remote part-time course makes training with us more flexible than ever before, opening our courses up to aspiring journalists from the ease of their own home.
Trainees on this course will study nine modules – enough credits to gain the all-important Level 5 NCTJ Diploma in Journalism – and you will be taught by our very experienced journalism tutors.
Tutors use teaching techniques developed during the lockdown of 2020 – when all courses were delivered via Zoom – which led to News Associates winning the Innovation of the Year 2020 award at the NCTJ’s Awards for Excellence.
Remote trainees are offered the same high calibre of guest speakers from the industry and will be invited to our annual journalism conference JournoFest.
Lessons take place on Zoom every Tuesday and every other Thursday evening, totalling nine hours a fortnight (classes are 6:30pm-9:30pm, with a break).
NCTJ elective modules offered:
- Journalism for a digital audience
- Public affairs for journalists
- Data journalism
- Introduction to PR for journalists
- Videojournalism for digital platforms
Job destinations of recent graduates include:
- The Times
- Women’s Health
- Sky
- Sportsbeat
I wasn't sure I could face quitting my job to study full-time, but News Associates answered all my prayers with a remote NCTJ course. I love the fact that I can log on to my lessons from the office, home or wherever I happen to be. The sessions are engaging, thought-provoking and challenging and it’s incredible how much I have learnt in such a small amount of time. If you want to become a journalist but still need to pay the rent then don’t walk to this course, run to it! I can promise you won’t regret it!Buffy Pond, Sky
