Excellence in training for the publishing sector

Celebrating 30 Years of Training Publishers

For over 30 years The Publishing Training Centre at Book House (PTC) has been firmly established as the pre-eminent training organisation within publishing. We provide high quality yet cost-effective training for publishers both in the UK and overseas. Previously known as Book House Training Centre, PTC is an educational charity dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in publishing. 

The Publishing Training Centre grew from a small department at The Publishers Association and remains at the heart of the industry. All of our tutors are practitioners first and foremost, which means that they bring their real-world experience with them to the courses they teach, enriching the experience for students and making the courses more practical. PTC's work is overseen by a dedicated Board of Trustees, who have a broad range of experience and expertise in the publishing industry.

Offering over 70 short courses covering the complete range of publishing skills, as well as distance learning programmes and in-company training opportunites. PTC also cater for non-publishers who still need some of the core editorial skills.

We are always happy to hear from you with any ideas for a course, or from potential tutors!
