Level 3 BTEC in Creative Print Media (Print and Journalism) (Distinction)Peterborough Regional College
Peterborough, United Kingdom
I completed a two year course in media and journalism at PRC. Here I improved my interviewing and writing skills, gained experience in the industry, and learned more about media theories. The course gave me the opportunity to grow a lot outside of its course, by providing me with opportunities like interviewing celebrities, producing a magazine and creating a portfolio and CV I can use later on in my career.
