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,

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.
