Why did you decide to enrol on the course?

I had a degree in Graphic Design and so I wanted to improve upon my copywriting skills to improve my marketability and skills. Writing was one of my strengths. I was also considering a home business at the time too. A correspondent course as one designed by the Institute attracted me because I wanted to study in flexible mode as well


Did you make any contact with the Institute before enrolling?

After searching the internet for writing courses, I came across the institute’s web page. I contacted them to be certain they were not one of those numerous scams floating all over the net lately. When I became satisfied with their responses, I went ahead and applied to commence the course.


What was your impression of your course when it arrived?

It looked professional to start with. The packaging was good- with its total presentation and perfect conditional. Actually, I was not expecting a bulk. I think the course is well designed and a lot of thought went into it. Simply put, it’s awesome.


Did you consider any other courses?

Yes, I was at the time considering the Institute’s creative writing course as well.


Ultimately, what do you want to do?

I am currently undertaking higher degree in Social Work. As I am already doing, I am going to continue using my acquired skills in areas as my radio broadcasting, advertising and general writing.

I believe I need to give myself the opportunity to improve upon my copywriting skills before I begin my home based business


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

If they are certain they would like to make use of the course in the near future, then it is a better option. The course materials are easy to follow. Students can complete the course at any time, just like me who completed my last assignment after almost 2 years.


Is there anything else you'd like to add?

I will suggest that, English grammar and other extra help be added to the course contents. Depending on the specific weakness of students, they could at least access other resources as provided by the course. Their respective tutors could also give specified assistance in those areas.
