The London School of Publishing (LSP) has been training delegates since 1984 and has established an excellent reputation for delivering skill-based courses for individuals as well as the tailor made corporate training courses. We offer a range of training that suits the needs of our delegates, whether it be day or evening training.

- Digital: social media, Adobe, e-publishing, writing for the Web
- Visual: picture research, infographics, art history
- Literature: creative writing, poetry, the novella ...
