Exam refreshers

We offer a series of refresher sessions to help you prepare for your diploma or NQJ exams.

Exam refresher sessions are ideal for distance learners and those who would benefit from additional support ahead of NCTJ exams.

The virtual sessions are led by experienced NCTJ tutors and examiners who can help prepare candidates for both diploma and NQJ exams.

Diploma in Journalism refreshers

Ahead of national exam dates, refreshers are offered on the following diploma subjects: Essential journalism and essential media law and ethics.

These are 4-hour live zoom sessions with an expert trainer who will guide you on revision and what to expect from the exam. It is also the perfect chance to ask any final questions. You will get an opportunity to do a mock after the session. This will be marked with feedback by the trainer.

The essential journalism refresher will take place on Wednesday, 24 June from 10am until 2pm.

You will be given coursework and mock exams to complete in advance of attending, which will be marked with feedback. As part of the refresher, you will also complete a full mock exam day.

The tutor will also review your logbook and provide advice and guidance.
