What was your impression of your course when it arrived?

What might you say to someone who was thinking of enrolling on the course?

Even though many copywriting professionals don't have this diploma, it's very much worthwhile doing it. Having now covered so many different aspects of copywriting, and having received such excellent feedback and advice from my tutor, I feel a great deal more confident in approaching potential clients to offer my copywriting services.


Is there anything else you'd like to add?

My tutor was excellent - really supportive. He initially failed me on one assignment, and after offering me some excellent advice, I re-did the assignment and was given an A/B. This sort of advice and support is so beneficial to someone learning the ropes.
