    I am a bid writer and have completed bid writing training but wanted something different to work on sales-type writing styles. Apart from creative writing courses, this was the closest I could find. However, once I began the course I realised it was so much more and really enjoyed it and am considering a side line in copywriting.

    Elisha Jadav

    I selected CMP as my course provider based on the course outline, supporting resources and tutorial support. All of which surpassed my expectations.

    I enrolled on the course with the aim to become a professional copywriter, writing copy as a freelancer outside of the (less creative) day job!

    I thought I knew what copywriting was, until I joined the CMP course. There are so many different types of copywriting, and the course covered all of them in depth. The tutorial support was excellent. Super encouraging and intuitive feedback from very knowledgeable tutors.

    I thought the course content was excellent. The last lesson about working with brands and setting up as a copywriter, really wrapped the learning up nicely. The assignments really made you use your brain! I think it was clever that some of the topics were chosen to demonstrate that you might have to write about subjects, that aren't your personal preference. I also liked the way the Lessons were so different, yet subtly built up your knowledge.

    In a nutshell - I learnt to write words not waffle!The course taught me how commercially focused writing is. I used to view copy as 'descriptive wording'. And it was actually a revelation to learn that copy is actually sales focused. Not just random sentences that sound a bit interesting. I learnt how to write succinct headlines and more targeted, shorter sentences.

    At times, I found the course quite challenging. Don't expect to rush through lessons in your lunch break! Some of them require a lot of research and deep thinking. Overall, I found the course super-informative, commercially relevant and confidence-boosting.

    I found the tutorial support to be excellent. Super encouraging and intuitive feedback from very knowledgeable tutors.

    I thought the course content was excellent. The last lesson about working with brands and setting up as a copywriter, which really wrapped the learning up nicely.

    After a ten year career break to raise a young family I wanted to brush up on my copywriting skills and update and learn new ones.

    I really enjoyed the course. The online learning area has been great and easy to use. The course content was easy to read and digest. Clear and concise and relevant.

    I've learnt the core principles that apply to all copywriting styles as well as the emphasis on structure and audience.

    I've done some online training for my professional development as a teacher and while pleased overall with those trainings, I often found some of the work less than engaging or somewhat contrived. Not the case with this copywriting course. Really impressed with the quality of this course.

    I am a bid writer and have completed bid writing training but wanted something different to work on sales-type writing styles. Apart from creative writing courses, this was the closest I could find. However, once I began the course I realised it was so much more and really enjoyed it and am considering a side line in copywriting.

    I selected CMP as my course provider based on the course outline, supporting resources and tutorial support. All of which surpassed my expectations.

    I enrolled on the course with the aim to become a professional copywriter, writing copy as a freelancer outside of the (less creative) day job!

    I thought I knew what copywriting was, until I joined the CMP course. There are so many different types of copywriting, and the course covered all of them in depth. The tutorial support was excellent. Super encouraging and intuitive feedback from very knowledgeable tutors.

    I thought the course content was excellent. The last lesson about working with brands and setting up as a copywriter, really wrapped the learning up nicely. The assignments really made you use your brain! I think it was clever that some of the topics were chosen to demonstrate that you might have to write about subjects, that aren't your personal preference. I also liked the way the Lessons were so different, yet subtly built up your knowledge.

    In a nutshell - I learnt to write words not waffle!The course taught me how commercially focused writing is. I used to view copy as 'descriptive wording'. And it was actually a revelation to learn that copy is actually sales focused. Not just random sentences that sound a bit interesting. I learnt how to write succinct headlines and more targeted, shorter sentences.

    At times, I found the course quite challenging. Don't expect to rush through lessons in your lunch break! Some of them require a lot of research and deep thinking. Overall, I found the course super-informative, commercially relevant and confidence-boosting.

    I found the tutorial support to be excellent. Super encouraging and intuitive feedback from very knowledgeable tutors.

    I thought the course content was excellent. The last lesson about working with brands and setting up as a copywriter, which really wrapped the learning up nicely.

    We have put together this checklist to help you benchmark against other copywriting course providers, and to help you make the most informed and educated decision as possible.

    We understand that our own copywriting course may not be the right fit for you, and we know that many other great copywriting courses are available.

    This advice is accurate, objective, and follows our accreditors’ marketing rules.

    1. Accreditation

    Although there is no official regulating body for the copywriting industry, it’s always imperative to check that any copywriting course has been externally accredited. This means that the provider has undertaken a rigorous external inspection of its procedures, teaching material and tutors. Accreditation also protects your interests as a student and safeguards you because the provider will usually have to adhere to a strict code of conduct.

    2. Who are the course tutors?

    When choosing a copywriting course, it is vital to check who the tutors are, and whether they have any genuine experience within the field. Most online copywriting course providers will list the tutors on their website and will provide a comprehensive overview of their experience. You should also be able to find their LinkedIn bios, which will list all of their skills and experiences. You can find our tutors listed further down on this page.

    3. Tutor support

    Check how much tutor support is offered. Some copywriting courses don’t offer any, some limit theirs, while some offer their tutor support on an unlimited basis. There is no right or wrong choice. It all depends on what you are looking for.

    4. How regularly is the course updated?

    Copywriting is a very fast-moving industry with changes to technology happening almost every day. It is important to check that any copywriting course you are looking to purchase, is up to date and in sync with latest trends.

    5. Course delivery

    Copywriting courses are delivered in a variety of formats. Some are delivered in real time and are taught via Zoom, Google Classroom or other similar video software, while others are delivered as downloadable content. The latter is usually more accommodating for those with busier lifestyles, but it really does come down to personal preference.

    6. How many modules / lessons are there?

    Looking at the total number of lessons within a copywriting course is usually a great way to gauge how comprehensive it is, as well as giving you a clear understanding of exactly what is covered.

    7. Practical assignments

    It is important to check whether a copywriting course is theory based, practical, or both! We find the best is a balance of both. A course that allows you to put the theory into practice is usually the best option. Again, this does come down to personal preference, so it’s up to you to decide what suits you best. Practical assignments can also be used to form a portfolio, so it’s also worth bearing this in mind too.

    8. Copywriting course tutor marked assignments

    Try to find out how many assignments are personally marked by a tutor, with in-depth and constructive feedback. Courses that offer tutor marked assignments usually cost more, as you are paying for the experience and expertise of an expert.

    9. Help finding work after your copywriting course

    It is always good to check if the learning provider offers you support at the end of your course. Many online copywriting courses offer help with CVs, covering letters, interview preparation and much more.

    10. Help starting a freelance career

    Becoming a freelance copywriter can be a very lucrative career option. Always check if a copywriting course offers advice on starting in the freelance world.

    11. Certifications and awards

    Certificates are a great way to prove that you have undertaken a copywriting course, and to demonstrate your credibility. So, make sure you check what certificate you get, if it’s accredited, and also if it’s endorsed by an awarding body.

    12. References from your tutor

    When applying for jobs, it is always of great benefit to have a glowing reference. Check if the copywriting course you are looking at offers a personal reference for any jobs you apply for.

    13. Staff training options

    Some copywriting courses offer staff training options. If you want to book a copywriting course for your team, or an individual member of your organisation, it is best to contact the course provider directly to discuss this.

    14. History

    Check how long the course has been running for. There are plenty of ‘get rich quick’ copywriting courses around, as well as many new courses being offered for as little as £10. We are not saying that these courses do not work, but it’s always good to practice due diligence before making a purchase.

    15. Awarding body

    Remember to ask a copywriting course provider if their certifications have been endorsed by a recognised awarding body.

    16. UK Register of Learning Providers

    If you are looking to study a UK based copywriting course, it is helpful to ensure that the provider is on the UK Register of Learning Providers. You can check here

    17. Quality endorsement

    Find out if the learning provider’s course materials, tutoring, practices and policies have been independently assessed for quality.

    18. Expiry dates

    Check how long you have to complete your online copywriting course.

    19. Reviews

    It goes without saying that reviews are important. They give the buyer a good idea of how other people found the course. It is also good practice to check the reviews on independent sites such as TrustPilot and Google.

    20. Success stories

    It’s important to check if a course actually works and does what it claims to do. Success stories are a very good way of doing this, and most copywriting course providers list their learner’s success stories on their websites.

    These can easily be verified and validated through sites like LinkedIn and you can also ask the provider to put you directly in touch with the course participant. Most providers will more than happy to facilitate this for you.

    21. Access to materials

    Check how long you have access to your course materials for. Lots of copywriting course providers limit this, so make sure you invest in a course that you can realistically complete within the given timeframes.
