Pre-career diploma course

The pre-career diploma course aims to vocationally prepare beginner journalists. The course is designed to offer trainees the basic knowledge in all fields of journalism. The nature of work in the course is more practical, and less theoretical. The practical part is realized in the premises of the Kosovo Media Institute, where a TV and radio studio, a control room, video cameras and digital cameras are available. The trainers of this course are prominent editors, journalists and trainers with many years of experience in journalism or training, from Kosovo and Europe.
