There is no application or entry test — you can start the first lesson straight away.
How long does the course take?
There are 3 lessons totalling 21 minutes of reading and quizzes, laid out over 3 units. You can move at your own pace — progress is saved as you go.
What do I need to know before starting?
No prior coursework is assumed. The course opens with "What Makes News", covering news values and sources, so the foundations are built in rather than expected.
