Enrolling on to the copywriting course at CMP has proven to be an invaluable experience. Not only to feel more confident in applying my newly acquired skills, but I have also gained regular freelance work.
I enrolled in this course as a key training for my role as content/features writer at Yello Media Group. I am directly responsible for nine of the company's 20 markets. I don't know how to improve this class. It was a great learning experience. I graduated university almost a decade ago and this course was my first real professional development class since school and I am impressed.
Proofreading is something I always wanted to do, but I never had time. The Covid 19 lockdown was the ideal time to do it! I would also like to start a freelance business that would allow me to work from home permanently.
The course was a lot more in-depth that I had originally expected. The assignments were genuinely interesting, and I actually looked forward to sitting down to do them!
The course exceeded my expectations with the level of detail it went into and the amount of support that was available to me.
My tutor Julian was brilliant! I always received a prompt response to my queries and assignments. He ensured the feedback was detailed so I learned from mistakes and further my knowledge.
I wanted to try to find copywriting work after being made redundant. I needed to get some practice and an accredited certificate, and benefit from CMP’s expertise and feedback. The course was detailed, with useful feedback.
This course really changed my opinion about online courses. It did more than meet my expectations, it was a real investment in my copywriting skills. I think the tutors are really professional, always there with relevant advice for you.
The course was truly excellent. Extremely comprehensive, relevant and also quite fascinating in places. The tutorial support was absolutely first class. I learned new skills, for example, Adobe Acrobat proofreading and using track changes more effectively, and gaining a sound understanding of basic copyright and libel law.
The course provided validation of my strengths and weaknesses from an accredited source, and secondly, prepared me to enter the world of copywriting as a paying profession by providing up-to-date industry-standard learning content and opportunities to practice/roleplay it.
The tutorial support was excellent and was a great example of online/distance learning.
