Why do so many students choose to take our courses?

The largest single reason is 'word of mouth' recommendations - from within the industry and from our students, past and present - because the quality of our courses and the skill of our tutors has been established for over 80 years.

You can look at  the individual occupations of a typical group of recent distance learning students, and you can view a current tutor list.

"Our intern program allows students to take part in the workings of our largest bureau outside the US, with responsibilities for both production and newscasting. Students from the LSJ consistently demonstrate a good grasp of the practical skills and requirements, and obviously have been taught what is needed to be successful journalists."

Recent journalism students have found jobs with many different organisations including:

CNN, BBC, Channel 4, Sky TV, GMTV, Illumina TV, LBC, Capital Radio, The Times, AP, Independent on Sunday, Kentish Times, Bristol Evening Post, The Irish Times and The Electronic Telegraph amongst others.

Freelance students have had articles and features published in hundreds of different publications worldwide and many of our creative writers and poets have also enjoyed success this year, winning competitions and having their writing published    Why not join them?

Most of our students are already employed and use the knowledge gained from their courses to enhance their existing career structure and to increase their future prospects. Many have their courses funded by their employer.  A significant proportion are looking to develop either an alternative or an additional career using the writing skills they learn. 

The LSJ provides in-house training in news journalism, feature writing, subediting,and page design (via distance learning) for journalists at the Warsaw Business Journal (part of Poland's leading English language newspaper group) 

Antenna1 is the largest commercial TV Station in Greece, with subsidiaries broadcasting all over the world.  Since 1999 the syllabus and quality of its in-house English-language journalism training school has been set and validated by the LSJ.

Every year we provide training for staff at hundreds of institutions & companies.  You can see a partial list  of  those whose staff members we have recently trained by distance learning here.
