Note that each module in the Associate Diploma in Publishing and Journalism is a short course in its own right, and may be studied separately.

This course would be close to two years of full time study at most colleges; however, under our system you may fast track it or take it slow. Some may complete it in one year, while others may take many years to finish the course.
To give yourself the best chance of success in this industry, a substantial course (around 1500 hrs or more) together with experience, is what is needed.
  • Start a business, start a magazine, proof reading business, or electronic publishing business
  • Work as a freelance writer, editor, blog writer or publishing industry professional
  • Get a job as an editor, publisher, journalisty or writer
