College of Media and Publishing Reviews 

This was by and far the best online learning course I've taken so far. I appreciated the prompt feedback from my tutor, elaborate lessons, and exercises. I have applied these skills to my writing and editing career and gained more clients. Really recommend it!

The College of Media and Publishing’s Copywriting course takes learners step-by-step through all aspects of the discipline. The course is structured to take students gradually from basics concepts to writing complex articles, with each lesson focused on a specific topic. The online learning area is easy to navigate and packed with supporting documentation. Course material is provided via video explainers and downloadable documents, with additional guidance from tutors, who are established professionals in the subject. They offer balanced advice and feedback on assignment submissions and respond to any additional queries within the timeframes outlined. This allows you to reflect on your progress so that you can become confident in real world scenarios. I recommend their service and would use them again for future training.

Assignment 04 - better explanation of how to use Adobe Acrobat. Also, a short para proofread in the style you want the assignment done would be useful. The tutor is, however, excellent.

I had a wonderful education at the College of Media and Publishing for a great price, and I graduated with distinctions this week :) I received my diploma in copywriting with charter marks, and QLS Certificate of Achievement and Learner Unit Summary in an email this morning. I also have a ton of notes and invaluable educational material that I will hold near and dear as I set out on my career journey. I know many people who have graduated from CMP, and I fully trust CMP. It's based in the UK, affordable, flexible, self paced, and remote, soit was very convenient for me. 10/10 I'll probably do it again for another certificate if I want to build my skills down the road :)

CMP offers a great modern day way of learning – online – and extremely flexible. I’m happy to have just passed the webwriting course. I thought my tutor Justine was spot on with her timely feedback and comments. The course is very well structured and interesting.

The copywriting course was excellent. It really challenges you to think and create, and really prove you have understood the principles of each module, with the right amount of professional guidance throughout. A great foundation for starting out in the field.

I thought the course was well designed and written and enjoyable, though could have been more concise, the tutor Shuna Meade, very good. However, especially if you are not technologically minded, sometimes the simplest task e.g. sending a completed assignment, was a challenge at first.

I love how easy it is to navigate through the lessons, and that I can jump in and out of my studies on my own time and at my own pace. I also enjoy to one-on-one feedback from my Professor. So grateful to have found such a great place for my continuing education.

I've had another great experience with CMP. The course material is excellent, and the tutor support is even better. I can't fault CMP, and I look forward to studying many more courses with them.

I recently completed the proofreading and editing course with the College of Media & Publishing and found it an excellent experience. The course not only provided me with practical training and tools to add proofreading to my professional skill set, but it has also been very useful for improving my own writing projects.

The flexibility of the course made it easy to fit around my full-time work commitments, and my tutor gave excellent, constructive feedback throughout. Overall, it was a positive, rewarding, and highly useful experience that I would happily recommend.

I signed up for the Proofreading and editing course in February 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The module packs contained masses of helpful information and the assignments were interesting. I was a little disappointed that the optional modules for editing on paper and fiction editing were self-assessed. However, the model answers were useful to compare my answers to.
I was able to effectively manage the assignments whilst working full time. Julian the course tutor, gave constructive feedback and I happily achieved a distinction.
I now have lots to think about before I decide what to do next with my career.

This was a very enjoyable course and really incentivised me to resume part-time learning. The subject matter is varied and each course module a good length - to cover subject matter but not be overwhelmed. There are a lot of links to follow and pages to bookmark - you need to be organised. And at the end of the course, there are a few optional subjects which, in my opinion, would've been better as mandatory and marked by the tutor. I'm not sure I'm ready for commercial use of the course yet, and will likely follow on with another course. But there is plenty of guidance for how to get started.

Having just completed the Proofreading and Copy Editing course, I would definitely recommend it to anybody. It is affordable, well-structured and provides an informative introduction to the subject matter. My tutor (Julian) was clear and concise in his feedback, as well as very supportive. Having qualified with a distinction, I also found the course very rewarding (as well as proof that you're never too old to learn). I am now hoping to take my new-found skills into a new career. Thanks to everyone involved at CMP.

I took two courses -The Copywriting course and the Social Media Marketing course. I particularly enjoyed the fact that you had practical assignments and had to finish one and be graded to access to the next lesson. The tutors were always available when I had a question and I always got the grade or a feedback with two working days. I learned a lot from those courses and I can only recommend them!

I have just completed the Proofreading and Copy Editing course. It was such a well structured course, and the whole process from enrollment to working through each module to submitting assignments was very straightforward. Shuna, my tutor, was encouraging, friendly and very patient. I achieved a distinction so I am hoping to use my new skills and get back into work after some tricky health issues.

Did this course years ago when I wanted to formally learn copywriting. You must know this. It is not a formal level 4 diploma, in fact, I think the title of it is misleading. It is not the equivalent of a level 4 diploma, and is not a diploma at all. It is not an Of-qual regulated qualification, the wording gives you that impression but it is not. You will learn copywriting, but if you are thinking it is equivalent to formal diploma, it is not.

Update: In response to the reply below, what I said stands. It is misleading.

This course teaches you all the basic elements of good copywriting, and takes you through the most common tasks that you will face as a working copywriter. The explanations are thorough, and the tasks are generally pretty interesting, as well as good practice for the skills you learn in each lesson.

My tutor was great; she gave me nice words of encouragement when I did things well, and clear, actionable advice for the things I needed to work on. I'm sure the other tutors are excellent too.

My only criticism of the course is that the lesson materials contained several dead hyperlinks, either to pages that had been removed completely or whose web addresses had changed. It was always easy to find the articles, or alternatives on the same subjects, and you should probably look for extra sources yourself anyway, but it was a little frustrating at times.

I wouldn't be put off by this, because the vast majority of the content is high quality, relevant and very useful. If the links were fixed, I would give the course a 5 star rating without any hesitation. It was well worth my time, and I'm very glad I did it.

Staff are all welcoming, the tutor was very knowledgeable in her field and gave constructive feedback.

I would recommend this online College highly

My tutor was always quick to respond and provide constructive feedback. The course was well structured.

Thank you for an interesting and informative course!
Best wishes,
