Why did you decide to enrol on the course?

To learn the disciplines around copywriting and to formalise my knowledge and current experience in using copywriting in my work for a major financial institution in Australia.


Did you make any contact with the Institute before enrolling?

Yes! I had a number of questions which were efficiently and effectively answered by staff at the institute.


What was your impression of your course when it arrived?

The course seemed very professional in presentation and the content is very appropriate for anyone wishing to learn to be a copywriter. The exercises are very practical.


Did you consider any other courses?

I looked at a number of copywriting and writing courses both in Australia and overseas. I decided that the Institute of Copywriting course would be best as it allowed me the flexibility to study at my own pace while juggling the demands of a full time job and a young family. A great feature of this course is that you can be in control of how long it takes you to complete it.


Ultimately, what do you want to do?

Firstly I want to improve my copywriting techniques that I use in my current role with a product development team for a major Australian Bank. Ultimately, I want to branch out into my own business by providing copywriting services to a variety or organisations on a consultancy basis.


How are you progressing with your course?

I think I am doing well and look forward to completing each assignment. I especially learn alot from the tutors feedback as it is coming from a person who is a 'professional' in the business.


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

The course is interesting and is full of ideas which you can apply to any assignment in your daily work or personal life. The course provides you with appropriate information on each topic in order to complete each assignment. The tutor always gives prompt and constructive feedback. Any requests for assistance or more information are always addressed promptly by the institute.

This course is great in that it allows you the flexibilty to work at your own pace and fit in your studies with other commitments.
