A Unique Approach

Storytelling is at the heart of all RNTC’s training. Stories are a powerful tool for media content aimed at achieving social change. The approach aims at not only developing skills, but also developing critical thinking.

RNTC’s robust theory and practical application creates an effective learning environment for the participants. They obtain long-lasting knowledge and a solid theoretical foundation that improves their way of working. RNTC has a vibrant alumni network that participants will be encouraged to join and make use of for the sustainability of the project. This network allows for professional development as well as there are influential members of the media in the region as members.

  4. Course Fees
    There are two types of course fees

    • Full Scholarship: all course fees, travel, accommodation and daily allowances are covered in the scholarship
    • Partial Scholarships are awarded preference over Full Scholarships in the selection of awardees. We encourage you to work with your organisation to ascertain whether there may be a training budget available to cover your expenses if you are interested in the Partial Scholarship option.

Once you have submitted your application, RNTC will inform you by email whether you are eligible or not (usually within 10 working days). You may be requested to supply additional documents during this time. This may be a copy of a valid passport.
