NCTJ backs London course

The new London foundation course being launched by Press Association Training has won the backing of the NCTJ.

The awarding body’s board granted accreditation to the course after an industry panel undertook a full assessment of the proposal for the new programme.

Securing accreditation was a crucial step as the agency works towards launching the course on August 30.

It means delegates will study for the full NCTJ syllabus and sit NCTJ preliminary exams as part of the course.

Tony Johnston, head of Press Association Training, said: “We are delighted that the NCTJ has backed our plans.

“We have worked with them on our Newcastle course for a number of years and we are very pleased that the board recognised the strength of our programmes.”

The panel remarked on the highly practical learning environment, its close link to the real world of journalism and most importantly, the fantastic track record of trainees securing jobs in the sector.
