Formal journalism training is widely available in Kenya. Every university offers either a diploma or a degree programme in journalism. Some offer postgraduate degrees. This is available to students leaving high school but working journalists have few opportunities to train in these institutions: timetables are tight, courses are expensive and journalists are not often granted study leave. Some however manage to follow part-time course offered mostly in the evenings. Refresher and skills-upgrade training is also available in the form of seminars. These are run by international organisations and often involve the development of specialised and thematic reporting skills. These courses are more accessible to working journalists, even though discrimination in the newsroom may leave out some.
