What others say.
The course tutor was very informative and was responsive to all the questions and varying needs and skill levels of the group. Thank you!
The tutor is extremely helpful and resourceful. The course material is well designed and contains a sea of information. The exercises are very practical and inspire thinking processes that can be tailored to my target audience.
I loved this course because it was up-to-date and the tutor has extended knowledge about the subject.
This course was great! Well structured, with great information about how to integrate SEO in your company’s content. There’s a lot of valuable tips I can now share with the team.
A fantastic teacher who shared an incredible amount of information and extremely helpful advice in a short space of time. I would highly recommend this course for people who are looking to take their web writing skills to the next level with search engine optimised content.
Great course, very logically set out and well delivered. Exercises were also well thought out. Time is always difficult to gauge in a course, but we did pretty well with the large amount of content to cover. Tutor was personable and helpful and very experienced. I enjoyed the day! Thank you.
The presenter was amazing with a great personal approach and so much information to share, I was absolutely satisfied. It is a great course with a great tutor.
The day was enjoyable, informative and interactive. It has been a few years since I attended an external course and I found the whole experience uplifting and motivating.
A concise reference guide and excellent workable tips to apply on the job.
The practical exercises were great as we got to relate them to our own businesses and then talk about them – this way you actually learn where you are going wrong. The course overall covered a lot of visual examples and these examples stay in your memory, they are easier to relate to and provide a better understanding then just text. The booklet we get to take is a decent size and not difficult to interpret. I would 100% recommend this course and probably even do it again in the future.
Excellent value for money with a massive amount of useful information included in the day. Definitely a hugely informative and useful course for anyone working in digital communications.
I found the web writing course informative and walked away feeling equipped and excited about taking on these new skills and using them in the workplace.
Covered a lot of ground and very informative. Heaps of great resources and examples included in the course notes.Thank you.
It was good to have lunch together, great idea. The material was very relevant, so I was able to write down lots of things that I could try out.
The tutor obviously has a very strong background in web content writing and marketing, and it shows in this course. The topics and information were very relevant, helpful and delivered well. I thoroughly enjoyed this one day course and would recommend it to anyone in the field of marketing, advertising, web writing and content marketing.
A really interesting and valuable course. The handbook is exceptionally useful, and the tutor was informative and very approachable. I would highly recommend this course.
