About this course
Anyone who is looking to enter publishing, or looking to further their career progression. The focus is on developing skills by learning in a practical environment.
No prior experience required.
CPD Certificate approved by the British Association of Picture Libraries and Agencies [BAPLA]
This is an industry led, practical, CPD approved certificated course that demonstrates that the delegate has invested in their learning and development, in key picture research skills.
You will be contacted by a course advisor who will send you general information on the course and start dates and how to book your place. You will be encouraged to contact us back, in order that we can answer specific questions and provide you with the details you are looking for.
Our entry requirements reflect the needs of the industry. The publishing industry is generally graduate entry, although there are exceptions and people with relevant experience within a commercial environment are welcome. We will accept non-graduates with a minimum of two years commercial experience. If in any doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone or email. Graduates will have greater opportunities than non-graduates to secure a position, but experience and the training provided by LSP are also important in helping with employment prospects. For those who are non-graduates the courses can consolidate the training with commercial experience to enable a delegate to become more marketable.
Please contact the Course Co-ordinator if you have any questions relating to entry.
The London School of Publishing offers some of the most up-to-date courses of their kind in the UK. Course contents are up-dated regularly and content reflects changes and developments occurring within the industry.
None of our courses are run as distance learning. We firmly believe that course delegates training in areas of publishing learn new skills when being trained face-to-face with an expert tutor.
The key advantages of following the LSP courses include:
LSP has been established since 1984 and we continue to be one of the most recognised and well-respected training organisations in the country. Our courses provide comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the current publishing processes.
We work closely with our tutors to ensure that key developments are implemented within the training.
Detailed notes on each of the sessions are provided – with plenty of exercises given and homework set regularly.
Course tutors are all working within their respective fields with many years of working and teaching experience.
The courses have intellectual rigour and help course delegates develop specific publishing skills.
The courses teach in a practical way – ensuring that course delegates are prepared for the demands of the industry and are ready to be employed within their respective fields.
