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.

This is an industry led, practical, CPD approved certificated course that demonstrates that the delegate has invested in their learning and development, in key digital publishing 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.
