Overview

Sportsbeat’s Multimedia Diploma in Sport Journalism will involve you in a busy but rewarding academic year. You will learn more about the business in one year with us than in three years at university. This is not a course for the faint-hearted, so the emphasis is certainly on working hard. To become a successful sports reporter you require the skills any news reporter would have, but in a highly-specialised qualification.

Description

The multi-faceted Sports Journalism module will be supplemented by Shorthand, Reporting, Video Journalism, Media Law and Public Affairs - and you will also produce a Portfolio of work throughout the year.

This will result in an NCTJ Diploma if exams and assessments are passed. In addition, there will be a Sportsbeat Diploma in which Sports Public Relations and Communications and Sports Production Journalism will be assessed internally.

Sportsbeat delivered around 23,000 stories to 197 newspapers in 2011, reaching over 500 million readers and manage online news feed to some of the biggest sports events in the world.

Requirements

The application process for the Sportsbeat Multimedia Diploma in Sports Journalism involves an interview with a senior Sportsbeat editor or reporter and a two-hour examination, which will cover sporting and current affairs knowledge.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
