PPA Professional Certificate in Journalism

Designed by industry editors to assess new journalists’ on-the-job ability, the PPA Professional Certificate in Journalism is a qualification for journalists working on periodical and electronic publications.

Candidates on the programme compile a portfolio of work drawn from day-to-day tasks and complete a workbook that reflects areas of skill and knowledge essential to periodical journalism. The workbook has four sections: the reader and the media, gathering information, writing and subbing and layout. Those undertaking the qualification are likely to be recent recruits who have taken a basic journalism training course or newcomers to the industry without formal training.

Driven by the individual, the PPA Professional Certificate in Journalism can usually be completed within three to nine months, resulting in a fully competent journalist.

Candidates on the programme will be assessed in two ways:

Stage 1

On the job assessment

An internal assessor will sign off each unit once delegates have reached the necessary standard.

Stage 2

External assessment and review

Delegates will be asked to attend an external interview. This will include a subbing test with a panel of experienced editors appointed by the Periodicals Training Council. Panel members will examine delegates’ workbooks and portfolios. Delegates will be awarded their certificates once the panel is satisfied they are competent.

Member price: £675 + VAT

PPA qualifications are only available to employees of PPA member companies.
