RNTC
Institution Info
RNTC is a Netherlands based media training centre. Are you a media professional and do you have a few years working experience? Come for a course to RNTC. RNTC is based in Hilversum, the Netherlands’ media hub.
The strength of RNTC’s methodology is the emphasis on learning by doing. Active participation is more effective than passively listening to lectures. Receiving and giving feedback reinforces the uptake of new ideas and skills. Knowledge ‘discovered’ is more tangible than knowledge that’s handed over on a plate. It is also easier for people to apply in their work contexts.
During a course, participants share their cases and experiences with each other. Theory is used to deepen understanding. Then the participants try out new ideas. As a result, what the participants learn has practical relevance and can be applied immediately back home. This benefits both the organisation they work for and their own career prospects – for example, many participants ask about how to sell programme ideas to those in charge.
RNTC hosts about 100 students per year. Almost all of them come from abroad, mostly from Africa, Asia and Latin-America. More than 3500 people followed a course at RNTC since we were founded; over forty years ago.
RNTC has a small staff of seven people who run the courses and a large number of trainers who are invited for shorter or longer periods. This gives us the flexibility to design the courses according to the needs of the specific course and group of students.
