Thrive in your career with virtual courses

Learn with the experts

The Publishing Training Centre (PTC) has trained thousands of people working in the publishing industry, and beyond, for over 40 years. Our top-quality courses are run by tutors who are experts in their field, with years of experience.

Whether you want to gain new skills to work in publishing or boost your existing skillset to advance in your career, we are here to help. Learn from home with self-study courses, or from any convenient location with virtual courses.

If you have more than five people to train in a specific discipline, why not consider In-Company Training? It offers an exclusive, cost-effective, off-the-shelf delivery of an existing course or one tailored to your needs.

Self-study courses

Study from home to be a qualified proofreader, copy-editor or copywriter in publishing, with a tutor-guided course. Or develop your editorial knowledge with our e-learning modules, specialist courses designed to improve an editor’s working life.
