I arrived knowing very little, if anything about copywriting. I can now leave with a much clearer understanding of copywriting thanks to Paul

The range of tips and techniques you learn about in the space of one day is impressive and I've been able to apply them immediately. The facilitation of the course flowed really well and was very engaging, even in a virtual environment.

The course is a great way to sense check what you know and don't know, with really useful practical examples and a range of best practice to digest. I feel more confident as a writer having taken the course.

Alexander Collins

This course was excellent. I now feel much more confident to go back to the office and write effective copy. And I also feel able to critique my team's copy in a structured and scientific way! Amazing tools!

The copywriting masterclass was a comprehensive overview of good writing best practices. Even having read a good amount of marketing books, this class provided new and useful information with practical tips and examples. Taught by a true expert. This class will improve your copywriting.

Ben Gallarda,

I found the course extremely informative. It was also very engaging and interactive. There were lots of opportunities where you could ask questions, which was helpful. The course was well organised and the staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Natasha Carey,
Data Guidance

Course content was relevant and engaging - covered each subject in a lot of detail but broken down into manageable chunks with loads of opportunity to ask questions. Tutor clearly has a deep knowledge of the subject and was friendly, clear and concise.

I attended the virtual Copywriting Masterclass and couldn't be happier! The course was really interesting and our tutor Paul was extremely engaging. I felt that he was presenting his expertise, which allowed any questions to be answered thoroughly. I would certainly attend another course.

Just what I needed. Thorough and practical, I feel ready to bring what I've learned into my everyday work.

Emily King

In just one day, I learnt so much. The tutor kept everyone engaged throughout and there are tips and tricks that will stick in my head forever.
