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.
