Journalist Apprenticeship - Level 6 - Hull

This immersive programme (JOA26) blends expert-led tuition with hands-on experience and tailored development support.

You'll cover core modules - such as research techniques and source evaluation, data analytics, multimedia content creation, media law, and more - equipping you with the skills today's newsrooms demand. As part of your end-point assessment, you'll also work towards the prestigious NCTJ National Qualification in Journalism (NQJ), a benchmark of excellence across the industry.

Training:

You’ll study for your industry recognised Level 7 Apprenticeship qualification, learning both on and off-the-job. The Journalist Apprenticeship scheme follows the Senior Journalist Apprenticeship Standard (curriculum) and combines academic training with practical on the job experience. Apprentices from all BBC bases will follow the same curriculum.
