College of Media and Publishing Recensioni 

The copywriting course is great for beginners and those who are just starting out in their writing career. It covers the basics and is informative and eye-opening, with excellent support from the college and even includes career guidance. However, I felt that a few things could be improved.

Personally, I felt that the course was rather surface level and introductory as each lesson is a Microsoft Word document approximately 5 pages long. Some topics were lacking and could be more in-depth, such as the one on leaflets and brochures. Quite a few links provided in the course were broken as well. I did report those to the course tutor, who responded promptly.

On the plus side, the assignments provided a great interactive element to the course and the feedback given really allows you to know where you stand as a writer. The written assignments can be used as part of your portfolio and the quizzes were educational and fun. My tutor was encouraging, supportive and of great help, giving detailed, thorough and insightful feedback with quick response times of 3 working days.

Another resource that I looked forward to was having CMP’s tutor as a referral on your CV and LinkedIn profile. Unfortunately, my tutor declined my invite to publicly place their profile on my LinkedIn as they wanted privacy since they tutored hundreds of students. Understandable but I was rather disappointed, however they did mention if I needed a referral, I could contact them privately. Not a big issue but I thought I should highlight it as when I signed up for the course, it did mention getting your tutor as a public referral.

After you graduate, there is a career coach scheme, which is highly useful to know your next steps and career direction after the course ends. It includes an extensive questionnaire, CV review and career action plan to be developed with an expert coach. You can also ask the career coach and your tutor for further guidance on career or freelancing opportunities.

Overall, I had a positive experience with the college and I would highly recommend this course for those interested to learn more about copywriting and those who want to launch a career in the field. It gives you just enough to grasp the foundation of copywriting and essential forms of writing in different mediums. Not to mention, the team at CMP are warm, friendly, supportive and helpful.

Thanks to the CMP team and I look forward to learning with the college again in the future!

Well structured course suitable for those either starting out or with a little previous experience. My tutor, Shuna, was excellent both it the quality feedback provided and the fast turnaround allowed me to continue without interruption. The course opens your eyes to the importance a wide range of issues in addition to the basics of grammar ect. such as fact checking, legal etc.

The course was very well organised, interesting and full of useful links, tips and information. My tutor was incredibly helpful and available to answer all my queries. Thank you for a great experience!

I have been wanting a slight change of direction for my career, so after 20 years working in arts marketing, I decided to sign up to the Proofreading and editing course with the College of Media and Publishing. I went into it with some knowledge and experience of proofreading having used it as part of my job so it wasn't completely brand new to me, but it helped as a reminder and the certification will be valuable to my CV.

It attracted me as it was an online course which I could work on from home in my own time and which fitted around the school run and my other commitments. I worked on one module a week for four months so managed to complete the course within a term which was my goal.

I appreciated the clear instructions supplied for each module and the easy to navigate online student portal. My tutor was very approachable, quick at responding to my messages, and offered thorough and helpful feedback for each of the assignments completed. I was particularly interested in the career advice module at the end which I will definitely go back to refer to when the time comes.

All the resources and lessons are downloadable so you can go back to them for future reference. I welcomed the amount of reading involved. Each module is laid out clearly and concisely with links to external sources which you can bookmark. I liked that there was a mix of assignments to hand in for marking, and online tests with multiple choice answers which you could mark yourself.

At the end of the course, the college were efficient in sending me my certification and diploma, alongside some helpful information on how to promote yourself. They also offer a charter mark and listing on their new graduates page which will be useful for self promotion.

I thought the course was good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to enhance their proofreading skills for their career.

The copywriting course exceeded my expectations. It took around 6 months for me to complete the course around my full time job. I liked being able to complete the lessons and assignments at my own pace. My tutor, Elena, always responded very quickly and provided useful feedback. I have learnt so much through this course and feel more confident with my copywriting skills as a result.

Very helpful assistants - friendly advice and clear information given. I have not started my course yet but I feel confident that I will receive the support I need to accomplish my goals.

Course Review: Social Media Marketing Course - College of Media and Publishing

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently completed the Social Media Marketing Course with the College of Media and Publishing, and I am extremely satisfied with the experience. The course is well-structured, easy to follow, and covers a comprehensive range of topics that are essential for mastering social media marketing.

What I appreciated most about the course was how practical and up-to-date the content was. It didn’t just focus on theory; there were real-world examples and case studies which helped me understand how to apply the strategies. I especially found the modules on content creation, analytics, and platform-specific strategies incredibly useful.

The online format was user-friendly, and I liked that I could learn at my own pace while still having access to support from the tutors. The learning materials were clear, and there were interactive quizzes that helped reinforce my understanding.

One constructive suggestion I’d offer is for the course to include more detailed insights into paid advertising strategies across platforms like Facebook and Instagram, as this is a key area for many businesses. But overall, I feel this course has equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to implement social media marketing strategies effectively.

If you’re looking to enhance your skills in social media marketing, I highly recommend this course. It’s an excellent investment for anyone wanting to build a career or grow a business online.

Pros:

Comprehensive, up-to-date content
Practical, real-world examples
Self-paced with tutor support
Clear and easy-to-understand materials

I have just completed the Proofreading and Editing course. A great experience! It highly exceeded my expectations!

Already a copyeditor and proofreader of Spanish texts, I wanted to broaden my horizons, and English is a language I love since I was a child. After examining different alternatives, I chose CMP and this course.

The course contents covered the different points of the syllabus with complete and up-to-date information, including recommendations of books and links to different kinds of external sources, some of which, in time, led to other sources. Some of the lessons, in fact, were kind of fascinating trips to me. I really enjoyed going through them. And the practical assignments were always challenging. It was great that, no matter how many errors or other situations I could find in them, there was always something else to be noticed! I really liked that.

The tutorial support was also noteworthy. Julian always provided corrections, as well as respectful and enriching feedbacks, in a timely manner. And just as remarkable was the student experience support provided by Olly and Jake.

I have equipped myself with highly useful skills and in a comfortable environment. I warmly recommend it!

My tutor Lucy was very helpful and also replied promptly to my coursework enquiries.
I found the course itself very informative, and the College of Media and Publishing staff were friendly.
Overall good value for money too.

I really enjoyed the CMP copywriting course. As a professional editor/writer, it was a good 'reminder' of some of the basics, while picking up hints and resources along the way. I worried it might be too basic, but the assignments were challenging and fun. Practising different types of writing was really useful, and leaving the course with a ready-made portfolio was a huge bonus!

My tutor always responded within three business days with thoughtful feedback. It was both a confidence boost and a great way to learn how to improve.

It's a lot of self-directed work, but that was clear from the start. At the very least, I was able to do it in my own time - hugely helpful on top of a full-time job.

I'd highly recommend this course to anyone starting or advancing a career in copywriting (especially as a qualification boost) - it's a practical, hands-on programme for all kinds of writers.

Enjoyable course, well-resourced and helpful tutors.

I am a single mum with part time work and part time online uni. I needed something to spruce up my writing and editing skills. I haven't gone through the entire course but i have received my very first bigger mark already. Happy is an understatement!

I really enjoyed doing my blogging course through the College of Media and Publishing. The course was well-structured and very useful. The pace of each lesson was easy to follow. My tutors gave me valuable feedback after each assignment that helped me improve my understanding of concepts and shape my blogging writing style. Thank you!
The tutors were also easy to get hold of and very helpful if I had any questions.

The copywriting course was informative and well-structured, and the tutor support was excellent. I am coming away from the course with renewed confidence and lots of new skills.

I am very happy I decided to take the Business Writing course by CMP this year. I am looking forward to keep practising and improve my writing!

Easy to navigate website, pleasant and informative communication. Course content was as I expected and well presented. I enjoyed the entire experience apart from an initial blip with tutor/ assignment reviewer.

I completed the CMP Proofreading and editing course, which was invaluable for building my skills. The lessons were clearly structured and easy to work through, and the assignments were useful to test my knowledge. I particularly appreciate the clear advice on how to start doing proofreading and editing as paid work, as it is quite an intimidating prospect, but I feel supported by the CMP, and this has helped me feel more confident.

I found the information provided directly by CMP to be well written & clear. Unfortunately they sometimes provide a link to third party instructions (for example Adobe Acrobat) and I found that information unclear & difficult to understand - I would prefer CMP to precis such information & include it in their own scripts.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Copywriting course, the CMP tutor was supportive throughout. I love the fact that you can study at your own pace, and your tutor is there if you have any questions. I'm a little sad that it's over - out into the real world I go!

My thoughts on CMP are as follows:
• Undoubtably, I did learn a decent amount about proofreading and editing.
• The materials presented were generally of decent quality (although quite a lot of what I learned was by reading external materials which the course provided links to).
• The course was of a significantly lower cost than some of the alternatives.
However, on the less positive side:
• I think the course is cheaper because at the end of the day, you get less out of it by comparison to other courses – it is at a much higher level (i.e. it goes into less depth)
• CMP do an excellent job of marketing – in fact at times I found it too aggressive – and I’ve had to exchange several emails to get myself removed from their mailing lists.
• One of their key sales pitches was the availability of an individual who could answer any question. I found this to be useful, but only in a very limited sense. The course material is relatively simple and you don’t really need to ask many questions to pass the course.
• I was delighted to pass the course with a “distinction” only to find that literally everyone passes the course with distinction. It’s another example I think of CMP’s marketing strategy…make students feel good about the course to get better feedback on SM.
• The biggest gap I found was in the final section – how to get a job. There was undoubtedly some bits of useful advice here, but the reality is that it’s very hard to find work in this industry. It’s my understanding (I may be wrong) that competitor courses offer more tangible help to get work for students.
I short I would say this course is fine if you acknowledge up-front that you will just be learning the basics, and you’re going to need to spend more money later to do more learning / more networking.
