Printing, Editing and Publishing

The media sector is highly diversified with special functions reserved for specially trained personnel. The world of printing, editing and publishing was highly neglected to mostly the old who found pleasure in reading and writing. However, as education is growing and more persons become literate and with a huge market for printing, editing and publishing materials, the necessity to train personnel is born. These practitioners serve in the printing world, edit audiovisual and material documents and also publish materials. In Cameroon, there are very few of such persons mostly trained in Nigeria and Great Britain and with their limited number it becomes necessary to train more.

Studies and Duration

The training is streamlined to run for two academic years and opened to holders of the GCE Advanced Level certificate in at least two subjects excluding Religious Knowledge.
