Value proposition

The industry's charity that delivers the premier training scheme for journalists in the UK.

The National Council for the Training of Journalists is the industry's charity that delivers the premier training scheme for journalists in the UK.

We provide a world-class education and training system that develops current and future journalists for the demands of a fast-changing multimedia industry.

The NCTJ’s range of products and services include: course accreditation; qualifications; awards; distance learning; careers information; training and continuing professional development; information and research; and communications and events.

The NCTJ is an independent registered charity. The organisation won a National Training Award and is an Investor in People at gold level. Employees are based at its own self-contained offices in Newport, Saffron Walden, Essex and there are more than 250 freelance examiners, trainers and industry volunteers. The organisation’s structure includes trustees of the charity, a board of directors, qualifications and examination boards, editors’ focus groups, forums for heads of journalism and course leaders and a Student Council.

The organisation’s £1m funding comes from media companies, sponsors and from income generated from its products and services. The NCTJ also administers the Journalism Diversity Fund which awards bursaries to those who cannot afford to train as journalists.
