Tera is offering free-of-charge training courses for journalists, freelances and production staff who would like to know more about their text editing and page make-up GN3 Publishing System.

The technology allows reporters to receive whole pages on their screens, and even their laptops.

They can access a template onscreen into which they write their stories and the headlines, which means that they can file a story straight to the page from any location - a press conference, for instance, or an accident scene.

Tera UK managing director David Howes, said the seminar move was in response to regular enquires from newspaper staff working at non-Tera sites.

He said: "The GN3 Publishing System in now producing more than 70 titles in the UK with some 3,000 seats installed.

"Most of these titles employ freelances and temporary staff to some level or the other and we often get called by such people and asked if we could provide some introductory training. Our new training facility in Bury St Edmunds now gives us the opportunity to respond".

Each course will last for one day and each student will be provided with lunch, full documentation and hands-on use of the system.

Two courses will be held every month and interested parties should write to Tera UK Limited, Park Farm Business Centre, Fornham St Genevieve, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP28 6TS. More information is available from Tera on 01284 753263.
