Qualification in Podcasting

Working away for a week has meant that I almost missed the bit in the Guardian about a qualification in Podcasting !

This is what the newspaper said:

The new qualification from the NCFE (formerly the Northern Council for Further Education) will allow learners to investigate the process of planning, preparing and producing a podcast.

It aims to help students understand the concepts of podcasting and to develop creative, information technology and communication skills. It will be available in centres across the UK from September 2008.
