You'll study for your industry-recognised apprenticeship qualification, learning both on and off the job. This involves weekly virtual webinars and in-person bootcamps at PA Media Academy in London. You'll cover a range of modules for the NCTJ Diploma, including media law, essential journalism, broadcast journalism, journalism for a digital audience, and video journalism.
