Course Details:
This course is designed to teach you how to write saleable material for a whole variety of publications but especially for newspapers.
There are six modules in the course but for those students who wish to specialise in any one particular area for example like sports journalism additional exercises and tests and tuition will be provided without any further costs.
There is special emphasis on finding and researching news stories, on marketing and selling your work and how to write for regional and national newspapers.
Included with this course is a Management/Leadership Test which is conducted on our behalf by Verax International. This test has to be taken on line and the results will be sent directly to each student by email usually within 3/4 working days.
The test will allow you to assess your own performance against 16 key management/leader competencies - such as customer focus, decision making, creativity and team working - which are valued by employers and which are very important for effective performance as a manager or team leader. There is one test for managers in the public sector and a separate test for all other managers. Depending on which version chosen, your performance is benchmarked either against 15,000 or so managers in the database or against public sector managers only.
In summary, this unique test will show you what to stop doing (or do less of) and what to start doing (or do more of) in order to become more effective in your current role/activity. In effect, you are told what you need to do to become a more effective manager and team leader and most important of all, how to do it.
