“The trainees embraced the intensive training and worked extremely hard to make sure they came out with the qualification their efforts deserved, which has led them into journalism jobs where they are showing off their obvious talent.
“With the country going in and out of lockdowns, our team of fantastic tutors embraced our move into hybrid teaching without skipping a beat.
