Training solutions for the media world

RNTC is an international training institute serving media professionals working in broadcast, print and online media. RNTC has over 40 years of experience in short focused courses tailored to the needs of mid-career professionals in journalism and media.

With our network of highly qualified and experienced  trainers we provide a wide variety of international courses for journalists, programme-makers, broadcast trainers and managers in Hilversum, The Netherlands. All are open to self-paying and sponsored participants; for certain courses fellowships are available to eligible applicants. Our certificates are recognised and respected all over the world.

Media organisations can invite RNTC to design tailor-made courses for their employees, to be given on the spot, or in Hilversum. For organisations in some 60 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America third-party funding is now available for these capacity-building activities.

In everything we offer, our guiding principle is ‘learning by doing’.

In short, RNTC designs and implements training solutions to meet the needs of the media world.

In the spotlight

RNTC has launched the RNTC Fellowship Fund to support journalists from around the world who are looking to develop their journalistic skills, but do not have enough financial means to support themselves.

After graduating at the first School of Journalism (in Utrecht) in 1973, Marijke found a job at a local newspaper but soon ended up at Radio Netherlands. She started in 1977 as a presenter and programme maker, became an editor at the News desk and finally was responsible for training on the job of RN’s staff. In 1997 she moved to RNTC and also got involved in the international training courses.

As a result of its partnership with War Child, RNTC has donated a mobile radio station to War Child Sierra Leone to facilitate youth in Sierra Leone to make their own radio programmes.
