NUJ short courses in professional subjects are designed for mid-career or new entrant journalists who need to update their skills. The programme focuses on technical skills and new technologies but also includes courses in feature writing and writing for the web which are less technology-specific.

New courses across the range of journalism skills are developed regularly and www.nujtraining.org.uk is the first place to look if you want to know about them.

To book a place on any of these courses

WANT TO KNOW HOW TO MANAGE?

Image of managerThey say people get promoted to their own level of incompetence, but often that is because nobody has trained them to manage. The best journalists don’t necessarily make natural managers, but they get promoted to be section editors and given people to manage and budgets to spend, all with no training. The NUJ has a course to rectify that — Editorial Management — it’s for anyone stepping up. It will give you the tools to make a success of your promotion. There is a course on March 5–6 and another is planned for the summer.
Contact the Training Department if you are interested.
