The Music Publishers Association (MPA) has announced it is running its graduate certificate in editorial and production in 2016.

This biannual course is the only one of its kind in the UK and designed as a vocational qualification by music publishers. The course provides comprehensive training for those starting or developing a career in editorial and production of printed music products across print and digital media.

Running September 2016 to February 2017, the course will be delivered in weekly three hour sessions taking place on weekday evenings with three Saturday sessions. Topics include production, planning and costing, the rules of engraving, pop music principles and proofreading.

Places are limited to just 15 per course and early booking is encouraged.

Richard King, chief executive of Faber Music and PMLL Board chair, said: ‘The MPA Graduate Certificate provides all the tools and knowledge needed for a really strong grounding in music publishing, and is delivered by professionals with real hands on experience.

'I can't imagine a better springboard from which to build a successful career in the industry.'
