  Thanks Wendy very much.  I came across the site by accident a few years back 
by doing a search for distance learning courses.  The guy who runs it is a 
journalist, but a decent person, not like a few I know who aren't worth the 
paper they are printed on.

  All the materials are delivered in Microsoft Word attachments by Email.  You 
have assignments to do at the end of some of the tutorials, and are graded for 
each one.  When I first contacted Cleland Thom to ask how accessible his 
materials were, explaining I had no sight, he replied by saying: "That's no 
problem, let me know if I can make things easier in any way with course 
literature."  Well that was so positive for me that I went onto do a few 
courses.  Once you do one at the going rate, the others become half price.

  I just enjoy writing on different topics and applying my skills to various 
styles.  My mum died just over a year ago so I had to contend with grieving for 
her and suffering all the back problems that are a part of my life, so it was 
nice to start this year right away with something positive and meaningful.

  I encourage anyone with some interest or the means to have a go.

    Congratulations.  Clever you!  I'm glad you got lots of support, and I will 
be looking at this site to see what it has to offer.

    Hi List

    Since you have all been very supportive towards me, I just want to share 
with you the fact I have successfully completed my diploma in Sports Journalism 
with nine A grades and four B Pluses.

    After the year I had in 2007, I can tell you this means one heck of a lot 
to me.

    If anyone is interested in doing journalism-related courses or training, or 
writing in general, then
    www.ctjt.biz
    is an extremely accessible and decent distance learning provider to use.  
The guy who runs the business is really hot on accessibility issues, and is 
most accommodating.  I don't know whether people could get funding to do any of 
these courses through DSA or whatever, but I can't recommend the quality of 
content and support highly enough.
