An independent charitable foundation, the Publishing Training Centre (PTC) delivers training courses both for the publishing industry and those from wider industries wanting to develop publishing skills. At the time of change in the industry, the PTC is developing an ambitious programme of online learning and accredited training programmes to support the industry, running over 100 courses and training in excess of 1500 professionals every year.
