    Press Association Training

    Do you dream of being a sports reporter? If so, we can help you achieve your goal

    Our aim is to turn out trained journalists who have all the skills and knowledge they need to work as sports reporters in print, online and in video.

    The 17-week programme is accredited by the NCTJ and we have consistently topped their results table as the best performing course in the UK.

    Our intense programme of study is full time and it is important that applicants realise that we are not a college.

    We are providing the highest quality vocational training in a real working environment.

    Throughout the course you have access to our headquarters which is home to the national news agency of the UK and Ireland and PA Sport.

    We pack a huge amount into the programme and it is not for the faint-hearted. As well as the specialist sports content, we cover all the areas of knowledge required by a multi-media reporter today, including:

    • News awareness
    • News values
    • Writing skills
    • Interviewing
    • Shorthand to 100 words per minute
    • Law
    • Government/Public Affairs
    • Reporting online
    • Video journalism
    • Production journalism

    From week five, you will have the chance to work on real sports content for local newspapers and web sites and may even get the chance to contribute to the PA Sports Wire.
