NCTJ hosts second webinar to support students studying for their journalism qualification via distance learning

Three journalists who achieved the highest marks in their National Qualification in Journalism (NQJ) exams this year have been congratulated by the NCTJ’s senior examiners.

From 1 September 2023, the National Council for the Training of Journalists is to offer end-point assessments for the level 3 content creator apprenticeship.

Journalism training has seen an “encouraging return to normality” as most teaching returned to face-to-face delivery, says the NCTJ’s principal examiner.

The NCTJ has published its annual report of its Quality Assurance and Standards Committee, which oversees quality, standardisation and fairness across its qualifications and services.

The NCTJ has taken a trip down memory lane, bringing the fictional town of Oxdown, and the Oxdown Gazette, back for an NQJ exam sitting.

The BBC and NCTJ have joined forces to create a bespoke training pathway to allow high-quality junior reporters to be recruited for Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) positions.

The NCTJ has published three end-of-year reports, which analyse exam results from NCTJ qualifications sat in the 2018-19 academic year.

Tamara Siddiqui, a newly-qualified senior journalist from The News, Portsmouth, has won three out of four available awards for her outstanding performance in November’s NQJ exams.
