This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a unique, inclusive initiative to gain a qualification equivalent to a foundation degree that many editors consider to be a prerequisite for junior reporter roles. 

If you or someone you know is interested in a career in media and has a disability, then please help me reach them. The course is in partnership with the NCTJ and subsidised by the National Lottery. This is a great chance to jump on a pathway to employment in media.

"I might be disabled and my body may let me down, but that doesn't mean my brain doesn't work. I am really happy to have passed, it feels like a great achievement and to know I did it first time means that it can be done." Victoria Scholes - ADJ Student


"I have been offered a traineeship that’s really exciting. It wouldn’t have happened without the course. In the interview process everyone who talked to me commented positively on it, so I am not exaggerating to say there is no way I would have got to that point without Ability Today." Jamie Green - ADJ Student


Closing date is the 16th September 2022.



Accredited to Ability Today.
