Courses are held throughout the year, with most courses repeating two or thee times in each academic year. Usual start dates are January/February, April/May and September/October.

During the Summer, we hold a four week Summer School, which gives a very detailed introduction to News & Features journalism.

Normal hours for daytime courses are 9.30/10.00am starts, finishing at 4.30/5.00pm. For exact times, look at each individual course.

Students attend courses at our premises in Maida Vale. 15 minutes' walk (or two tube stops) from Paddington Station, which is at the heart of London's public transport system. The canals of Little Venice are a few minutes' walk from the School, as are the cafes, bars and restaurants for which Little Venice is well-known.

The School buildings, situated in a private courtyard, were originally a pair of Victorian mews houses. Later they became a coal merchants and a dairy yard.

Some courses are held in Shirland Mews - four hundred yards from the main building.

The computer room in the main building is available to students throughout the day (and most evenings) for the preparation of their work, researching via the internet - or just checking email. Each computer has unrestricted internet access.

The School computer network may be accessed by WiFi - any student who wishes to bring their own WiFi equipped laptop is welcome to do so.
