Why did you decide to enrol on the course?

I am having to do some pr work in my new job I started last year, so thought this course would help me and also gain me a qualification in copywriting.


Did you make any contact with the Institute before enrolling?

Yes I did, to find out more about the course and to speak to humans about it rather than just read on the website.


What was your impression of your course when it arrived?

I was very impressed and couldn't believe the size of the file and all the information that came with it.


Did you consider any other courses?

I had a look round on the internet but couldn't really see anything that would suit me.


Ultimately, what do you want to do?

To learn how to write press releases, and promote business.


How are you progressing with your course?

I am progressing slowly - only just submitted my third assignment. Having a full-time job I find it hard to come home from work, then sit down and do yet more work. But I am sure I will get there in the end. Its great that there are no fixed timescales, as I am able to fit it in with the rest of my what seems hectic life!


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

Its very informative, and its great to be able to study at your own pass, no panics over deadlines. Its also great to have a tutor who you can e-mail for help if necessary but as yet I haven't pestered him!


Is there anything else you'd like to add?

Good luck to all the others that are doing the course. Enjoy it and make the most of it.
