PPA Editorial Diploma
PPA Editorial Diploma
Much is expected of todays successful editors. They need to bring flair and vision to their role while being able to understand and manage commercial drivers. They must also know how to get the best from their diverse and talented teams.
Developed for new or aspiring magazine and brand editors, the PPA Editorial Diploma equips delegates with the skills required to give them the edge over their competitors. Participants will learn alongside their peers on dynamic courses delivered by leading industry names. Taking the diploma involves a commitment to 15 days training over 18 months and delegates have to submit two assignments and present to an assessment board. However, the investment will be repaid by the ability to lead better brands and teams.
Candidates must complete 10 core modules and two elective modules:
Core modules:
finance for editors
business strategy for editors
implementing the business plan

planning editorial content
taking your magazine to market understanding circulation

Assessment process
Participants are encouraged to develop their analytical, critical and evaluative ability by applying their learning from the programme to their work; they will also undergo a rigorous assessment process. The assignments aim to give participants the opportunity to add value to their organisations by addressing real and significant work-related projects. Full assignment guidelines supplied on registration.
