" The News Associates journalism workshop gave me an amazing insight into writing a breaking news story as it developed. The simulation makes you feel like you are actually there in the news room, working under pressure to finish your article before the deadline. The afternoon taught me loads about the NCTJ certificate and the feedback I received afterwards on my story was really useful. The workshop was so good and such fun that I have already booked an exam and interview for their 20-week ‘Fast Track’ course!"
- Rosanna Tennant, February 2011 Durham workshop attendee
"I would recommend this workshop to anyone. I was dreading seeing just another powerpoint presentation but it was really practical."
- Raj Tiawana, June 2010 London workshop attendee
"Exhausting, the three hours just flew by. The breaking news exercise was totally absorbing. It felt like I was right in the middle of reporting a massive story. A really practical and entertaining seminar."
- Nicola Wright, March 2009 Manchester workshop attendee
"Thanks for providing a fantastic practical insight into life as a journalist - it was well worth the time and effort to attend. It was also great to speak with some of your reporters afterwards. They gave me some really useful advice and I left buzzing."
- Amanda Myall, January 2008 London workshop attendee
