Welcome to LSP

All courses offered by LSP are practical in nature, and provide an overview of a particular publishing function. The training aims to thoroughly prepare delegates for their roles as publishing professionals, whether as full-time staff or as freelancers — in functions such as traditional EDITING AND PROOFREADING, MAGAZINE AND NEWSPAPER SUB-EDITING, ADVANCED EDITORIAL, COPY-EDITING, PICTURE RESEARCH, FEATURE & CORPORATE WRITING, as well as skills in ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING in areas such as QUARK XPRESS, INDESIGN, PHOTOSHOP, WRITING FOR THE WEB and DREAMWEAVER.

Since LSP’s inception, our publishing courses have attracted thousands of course delegates, some of whom are sent by their employers for training. However, a large number of delegates approach us independently of employer sponsorship, in order to gain new or additional skills and usually to enter or to develop publishing careers. In addition to the open courses, we also offer in-house tailor-made courses for corporate groups.

Our evening courses  run three times a year, starting in: February (winter term), May (summer) and October (Autumn term). Most run over ten weeks in the evening — 6.30pm – 8.30pm, once a week, on a particular designated evening. There are also a choice of one/two day publishing courses in: Copy-Editing, Feature & Corporate Writing and Picture Research.The ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING courses: QUARK XPRESS, Adobe INDESIGN, Adobe PHOTOSHOP, Adobe FLASH, Adobe ILLUSTRATOR, HTML, Adobe DREAMWEAVER and & WRITING FOR THE WEB are run during the daytime for a duration of one, two to three days.

LSP is recognised (all courses are certificated and recognised and approved by the Institute of Training and Occupational Learning - ITOL)and respected as a well established and highly competent training organisation in the area of publishing skills. We combine traditional and technology-based skills in a unique way, making our courses relevant, easily applied and transferable.
