Excellent web writing course!

I’ve just completed the web writing course and found it clear, practical and very supportive. The lessons are well structured and very useful, and the tutor's feedback is always quick and helpful. I have finished the course feeling more confident in creating reader‑focused web content. Highly recommended.

The course was creatively structured…

The course was creatively structured and engaging, and Shuna Meade did an excellent job as the tutor. Although it could have been more to the point, it was still a pleasure to go through. At times, particularly for those not familiar with technology, even straightforward tasks like submitting assignments were initially tricky. Beverley Saunders

Bang up to date industry standard resources and modules

Trust the content of this Copywriting course. The tools and resources alone are worth the fee. The insight from tutor feedback seems based on very professional insight. I was a little hesitant to do a self-learning series of modules which aren't tutor led. They feel tutor led because of a) the valuable feedback, b) you have to reach an industry standard in one assignment before opening the next and c) I had a safe and supportive space to create and sometimes learnt more from mistakes constructively addressed in marking, than my successes. The endorsement badges you will receive to place across your online platform will be easily recognised in the industry too. I have met people trying to fudge such knowledge by downloading and printing reams of instruction form disparate sources of less provenance and it doesn't serve them. This was a great course and it was so wide ranging, equipping me to provide content for everything from social media, to press releases and print promotions. It really, really made me think. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended!

I have just finished one course and doing another 2 courses with the College of Media and Publishing. The courses are really well structured, relevant and interesting. The written assignments are graded and I got excellent, constructive feedback on how to improve. I feel well supported and learn a lot.

I highly recommend this proofreading diploma

I thoroughly enjoyed this proofreading and editing level 4 diploma course and can confidently say it far exceeded my expectations. The content was exceptionally in-depth, engaging, and thoughtfully structured, covering everything you could possibly need for proofreading and copyediting — and more. I learned an enormous amount and was consistently challenged in a very positive way.
The learning portal was intuitive and easy to navigate, with well-designed materials and clear, concise summary videos that reinforced the learning effectively. The additional resources provided were extensive and incredibly valuable; they will be resources I continue to refer to regularly and are clearly suitable for students from a wide range of disciplines.
The tutor support was outstanding. My tutor was highly responsive, and I never had to wait long for feedback or assignment results. I also appreciated the balance between interactive online quizzes with instant feedback and more formal assignments submitted for detailed tutor review.
Overall, this is a high-quality, professionally delivered course that I would highly recommend to anyone serious about developing their proofreading and copyediting skills.

Excellent course & supportive tutoring

The copywriting course has been such a positive experience for me. Following a head injury several years ago I lost confidence in my abilities, so I began with some trepidation. But the course is designed to be flexible, so I could do as much work as I felt able to each day and I could work at my own pace. Elena has been a fantastic and supportive tutor. Her feedback has been invaluable and has really improved my writing. Thank you! :-)

Change regarding CMP Review

I have put this new rating as I have now had explanations regarding the message I received. After this I redact the patronising comment.

I have discussed with my tutor about my autism and how it can affect my learning. My tutor now knows the best way to support me and I feel we can positively move forward with the support I need.

I believed it was important to revise my previous review.

Proofreading and editing course

I completed the Proofreading and Editing course with CMP and found it thorough, challenging and informative. My tutor Shuna was excellent and I learned a lot during my studies.

Good start - harder to finish.

I felt this course started off well, but I found it increasingly difficult to engage with it as I progessed. The lesson on checking accuracy and facts (07) contained an error in the assignment that hadn't been fact-checked! Later I queried my tutor as to use of tradenames in fiction writing, and it remained unanswered. When lessons became "optional" there was less incentive to keep going, although it transpired you could just skip to the end.

Professional and interesting course

I found the copywriting course very helpful. Not only it covers a wide range of useful topics, but also teaches you how to present yourself out in the job market. Many courses avoid teaching the part where you have to actually look for clients or apply to work, and I respect CMP for giving this part more attention. The course is easy to follow, has various practical homeworks and is very interesting to read. What I found very helpful is that it provides many examples of successful and not so successful copy that already exists out there on the internet. I can say it gives the explanations a face. My tutor, Julian Brouwer, was a pleasure to work with. He always marked homeworks promptly and gave detailed feedback. In fact, he made me feel more confident about my writing by highlighting my strong sides in his feedback. The course also comes with free useful resources on boosting your career. However, there are some minor things that need to be improved in the course. I wouldn't name them if it wasn't a copywriting course, but from time to time I spotted typos in the writing and some links are outdated, leading to 404 page. There were only a couple such instances, but I still think that the content has to be checked more carefully if it teaches about copywriting. This being said, I enjoyed studying at CMP a lot and would recommend it to study copywriting.
