AN accredited
journalism course will be delivered on a part-time
basis this Autumn at the Verbal Arts Centre in
Derry.
Students will be registered with the North West
Regional College but classes will take place in the
centre, located on the city walls at Bishop Street.
Verbal Arts Centre executive director James Kerr
said the centre was delighted to offer the course
for a second year running.
"It proved very successful last year, with many of
the students progressing to higher media courses at
HND and NVQ level.
"Others have gone directly into employment in the
journalism sector. The qualification fits very well
with our remit to promote literacy through the
written and spoken word.”
Course lecturer Claire McDermott said the course was
ideal for people looking for hands-on experience in
both print and broadcast journalism.
"Many of the modules are vocational, for example
audio editing techniques, and give students valuable
practical experience," she said.
"It’s a great opportunity for them to build their
confidence in a supportive learning environment.
Students can achieve real progress, acquire new
skills and explore new career options.”
The course to be delivered is the NOCN Level Three
in Journalism and Radio Broadcast. Enrolment night
will take place at the Verbal Arts Centre on Monday,
September 17th, between 7pm and 8:30pm.
