Short online courses on specific publishing topics

The PTC's e-learning modules are short, online courses designed to give you insights into specific topics that you may encounter and need to know about during your publishing career.

Each course is broken down into units for easy study and information retention. Many have quizzes and tests at the end of each unit, to reinforce your learning and test your knowledge. Study time varies from 2–3 hours for the shortest courses to 8–10 hours for the longest.

The aim of each module is to build your skills in a particular area, for example interacting with authors, handling copyright, or editing illustrations. Most of the modules are for editors at different stages of their careers. Others are for those working in marketing or rights, along with a popular introduction to the world of publishing for anyone thinking of entering the profession or who would like to know more about the industry and how it operates.

Regularly updated, these modules will help you become more expert and confident in the areas you choose to study.
