Two decades of quality and success
We started out as a small family business called CTJT in 2003, with one online course and one student! Then, in January 2015, we rebranded as the College of Media and Publishing to more accurately reflect what we do.
Since then, we have become one of the UK’s most successful online colleges. We have helped thousands of people learn new skills, change careers and start their own businesses.
We have also worked with organisations like Arsenal Football Club, Disney, John Lewis and Vodafone.
Our learners are never “just another student” to us. Many say their online learning experiences exceeded their expectations. Read their reviews
And we continue to support our students, even after they have completed their online courses. There is no cut-off point.
We strive to make you feel like the only student we have.
So, that’s our story! And we can help you change yours.
Why we are different
The qualities below continue to set us apart from any other provider of online courses. We offer each student:

Quality endorsement
Our professional online courses and certifications have been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme.
The scheme is a product of the Skills and Education Group, who endorse high-quality, non-regulated courses and training programmes. Our latest annual inspection was in April 2025.
The inspector, Dave Allen, said in his report: ‘CMP continues to implement and review a robust set of systems, policies and procedures to support course delivery and ensure a high standard of quality in provision.
‘There is a clear, continued commitment to continuous improvement.’
Organisations we work with
More than 300 organisations and charities have used our online courses to train thousands of working professionals since 2003.
Among them are some of the UK’s biggest businesses and organisations, including SpecSavers, John Lewis, the NHS, Oxfam, Arsenal FC, and Vodafone.
Our global community
We have many years’ experience training international students. Since 2003, we have worked with people from more than 110 countries and on every continent.
