Our reviews
I now work for Barcelona Connect Magazine and I am European fashion editor for Men Style Fashion.
Pretty much all of this was from my diploma though CMP, and my hard work and determination. The course gave me an excellent grounding for me to build upon.
The course was just right for me and what I needed. I now feel confident that I can take this forward in to a new career. The course was demanding in places but very thorough and informative. There was a well-organised course structure with exactly the right amount of content presented.
If you need a cost-effective way of starting a career in journalism, I have no hesitation in recommending CMP. I still find it remarkable that for the sake of a few hundred pounds, I managed to get the training needed to get this far.
The way I handle things at my workplace has improved a lot over a period of time because of this course. The course was perfect and I can’t ask for more. Cleland is a dedicated and supportive tutor who is interested in students’ success.
I would not hesitate to recommend the course to anyone. The support I have received from CMP has not only enabled me to earn money from writing, but has also given me back my confidence.
The course went above and beyond my expectations. The quality of the tutorial support was excellent. My tutor, Jennie Harborth, also marked my assignments quickly yet thoroughly.
The course has more than met my expectations due to the speedy email responses and friendly, expert and detailed feedback on my assignments and queries. I feel like I’ve learned a lot about the basics of proofreading and editing.
It exceeded my expectations. I had never taken an online course so I didn't know what to expect, but I received the same level of information and tutor support that I would in a classroom environment.
