Training and courses
Get qualified
Routes into journalism, and sports journalism, are famously varied. There is a wide variety of training options available, from fast-track 20-week programmes to four-year degree courses. Some are designed simply to make you newsroom-safe, in terms of avoiding libel and getting your knowledge of public affairs up to speed, while others will demand that you delve deeply into the very fabric of sports journalism.
In this section of the SJA website, you will find a list of courses to choose from to help your progress towards a possible career in sports journalism, along with their entry requirements, links to the provider's website and contact details for admissions. We've also included some information about the National Council for the Training of Journalists.
If you're running a training course that does not appear in our listings, then please e-mail stevenwdownes@btinternet.com.
