Writing and Journalism
Anywhere you find the written word: -magazines, press releases, books, bulletins, slogans, e-zines, lyrics, newsletters, newspapers, business reports, instruction manuals, film reviews, websites, brochures, journal articles, speeches, there had to be someone there to write it, edit it and publish it, and in some instances maybe sell it. Such a vast supply of written material means endless career opportunities. Writing and communication skills are an asset to any individual regardless of career speciality. Let our courses set you on the right path to success

Learn the fundamentals of academic writing for study and business purposes. Writing tasks are often a day to day duty of any professional, whether they are at a supervisory level or top level management. These tasks can include writing procedures, proposals and reports; they might require specialised knowledge such as scientific writing or reviewing; theycould be editing tasks, as professionals may at some time need to review and edit other people’s writing. Students, on the other hand, are expected to write in a way that demonstrates their understanding of concepts and theories, their ability to discuss implications of theory, and their ability to communicate complex ideas logically and clearly. |

Become a successful journalist!
Being paid to write is a dream shared by many! Journalism is an exciting profession. We advise some experience before embarking on this career as there will certainly be challenges, such as writing well under pressure and writing for your employers requirements. This course will teach you the skills you need to achieve your potential!
Before embarking on a substantial course of study with us or anyone else; be sure you fully understand what is involved. Some people simply don't succeed perhaps because the dream is not the same as the reality; or maybe they are simply not the right personality. This job is not just about writing well: it also requires you to be able to write fast, work under pressure. You also need to be prepared to write what an employer wants, which is not always the same as what you want. This is the reality of journalism. If you can get past these considerations, and with a bit of luck, you may be able to forge a serious career. |

Learn to write stories that children will love! Children's writing is a specialised craft. It is a rewarding, inspirational, and often demanding, branch of writing.

For most, it takes many hours, months, and possibly years, to write a unique and appealing story that children will want to read. This course is designed to set you on an appropriate course for more successful writing geared to the children's market. |

Write drama like a professional! There are many different types of writing – short stories, poems, novels, screen plays etc. Dramatic writing can fall into all of these. A short story usually takes place over a shorter period of time. It is often set in just one setting/scene, and the characters may be shown with broader strokes – there is not as much time to analyse characters as there is with novel writing. |
