College of Media and Publishing Reviews 

I found the whole process from start to finish, including enrollment and online access, very clear. The learning materials were relevant to all the assignments and easy to follow, with excellent examples to support learning. I enjoyed the challenges of each assignment and the satisfaction of achieving good grades throughout. My tutor, Julian, was very helpful if I needed to query anything, and assignments were marked very quickly, to help move on to the next one.
I achieved a Distinction. I am delighted with this result. I know the new learning will help in my current work, when writing professional reports, but I would also feel confident to undertake proofreading and editing work, which is also supported by CMP with very useful guidance and post-course materials.
I would definitely recommend CMP and this course, whether to help improve your writing skills or as a new career in proofreading and editing.
Thank you to all the team for a great experience.
Kind regards,
Alison W.

Excellent course that really broadened my knowledge. There were so many things I thought I understood (SEO, press releases, thought pieces) but really didn't until this course explained them. It takes quite a lot of effort and self-motivation to finish the course and complete the various assignments, but the results are well worth it.

Really enjoyed this course. It has allowed me to take my proofreading and copyediting to the next level. My tutor was amazing and very encouraging throughout the various assignments. Helping me get the most from the course and achieve a very satisfying result. I would strongly recommend this course.

CMP's Social Media Marketing Course
I have recently completed and passed CMP’s Social Media Marketing course. I found each module valuable and relevant. I discovered how platforms provide a two-sided network promoting engagement and about how marketers target users based on demographics. Social media, I learned, was not a monologue, but a conversation. Perhaps this sums up Social Media Marketing. My tutor, Justine, was very helpful and professional.
This is my third course with CMP. I have also studied and passed Proofreading and Editing and Web Editing. The three complement one another. The knowledge I have gained is invaluable. Thank you to all at CMP.

I really enjoyed studying with the College of Media and Publishing. The modules were great, and my tutor, Justine, was really encouraging and knowledgeable. I highly recommend studying here.

The copywriting course has made a tremendous impact in my life. The guidance, knowledge and assistance I have received from my tutor and the CMP team has been extraordinary and I am incredibly grateful.

I completed the copywriting course, which included over 20 lessons. The lessons are written documents, which include links to other useful resources. These definitely give you a good all-round grounding in the basics of copywriting, including the legalities and touching on recent developments, such as AI. It’s much easier to have a curated series of lessons than to have to do all your own research.

But the best thing about the course is definitely having the chance to complete assignments that are marked by a tutor. My tutor, Elena, was very encouraging and responsive to my questions. She gave detailed and thoughtful feedback on my work. This is what helped me develop skills, confidence, and a solid portfolio. She was also a friendly supporter throughout the course.

There are also some electronic quizzes to test your understanding of some of the more technical lessons, such as the legal considerations. These were a good way to test your own knowledge and apply learning as you can retake them if you don’t do well.

I completed this course as a career changer. I like the fact that the certificate follows the qualifications framework so it’s easy to communicate the level of study to others if needed.

I’d say this course is a suitable level of challenge for its level and good for career changers or as CPD for people already working in related fields.

I did a lot of research before taking this course and would say the information I found online was accurate.

I'm absolutely loving the copywriting course. Even before joining, the email interaction with the Team and the pre-joining information was excellent. It really peaked my interest and helped me to make the positive decision to start the course. Also I'm very glad the course has been updated to include AI, as I was a bit worried that AI would limit the need for copywriters, though I now see that that is not the case. Though life issues have delayed me racing ahead, I am going to submit my first assignment very soon and looking forward to steadily moving ahead. I would highly recommend CMP to others who want to study courses in this and other media genres.

I was already experience in a lot of ways but this course added new skills for the new (2025) workplace which were much needed. I've already put them into place in my career and they've been hugely helpful in my retraining.

My copywriting course with CMP was great. I decided to learn new writing skills after a burnout at work and the desire to change career. If anything, I like writing and wondered how I could be paid to write. This course has given me the confidence I was lacking to get started. Every step is straight forward in the course, you learn, give assignments back, get graded by your tutor. I had lots of constructive feedback on my assignments from my tutor. I highly recommend this course and CMP. I will definitely be back for more learning. Thank you!

Great course.
I would recommend for anyone who needs to write anything that other people need to read. From people who have to write any documentation at work to aspiring / professional authors.
The learning material is excellent, and the assignments definitely check your knowledge of the topics.

Just like all good courses, I did not finish the course thinking I 'knew it all'. It made me appreciate how much more there is to learn and practical experience i need to get. The most useful parts of the course (after the basic lessons) are probably all the links to the sites that are going to be a regular sources of reference in the future.
Friendly and helpful tutor.
Highly recommend this course in proof reading and copy editing.

Really enjoyed working through this course - informative, creative, detailed & current to what's happening in the industry at the moment (AI & SEO etc.).

Shout out to my tutor Elena - her prompt marking & enthusiastic, constructive feedback made completing the assignments a great, supportive experience!

Thanks!

I recently completed the Public Relations Level 4 Diploma course with the College of Media and Publishing (CMP) and I'm thrilled to share that I achieved a Distinction! The entire learning journey was professional, flexible, and inspiring. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to my tutor, Andy Carter, whose clear guidance, constructive feedback, and unwavering support made a real difference in my progress. His encouragement truly boosted my confidence and helped me achieve the highest grade. CMP offers high-quality, real-world training that's ideal for anyone looking to develop or sharpen their PR skills. The course content was current, practical, and very well structured. I genuinely enjoyed the experience and felt supported every step of the way. Thank you to Andy Carter and everyone at CMP for a wonderful and rewarding time.
Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed the proofreading and copy editing course. The lessons were clear, easy to follow, and the tutor provided prompt, insightful feedback throughout. I’ve already started applying my new skills at work, and my colleagues truly value the added insight I now bring to their writing and overall accuracy. This experience has inspired me to explore similar courses to continue building my skillset.

I recently completed the Copywriting course with the College of Media and Publishing and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The course was so well structured – each lesson was clear, engaging, and packed with genuinely useful links and real-world examples that helped bring the content to life.

A huge highlight for me was the personal feedback I received from my tutor, Julian. His insights were thoughtful, constructive, and really helped me improve and grow as a writer.

If you're thinking about taking a copywriting course, I would highly recommend this one. Not only is the content excellent, but the support and guidance throughout makes a real difference. Thank you to Julian and the team at the College of Media and Publishing!

I have recently completed the proofreading and editing course which was brilliant! Really great support from the team at CMP right from the moment I enquired about the course.
My tutor was knowledgeable and my assignments were marked quickly and thorough feedback was always given.
The course material is very accessible and is regularly updated to include things like the impact of AI on the art of proofreading.
I enjoyed the material and assignments about proofreading on paper (which were optional lessons towards the end of my course).
Having never bought a course like this before, I was a little cautious to purchase it. However, having completed it and to now be pursuing it as a career, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CMP as your course provider.

When I signed up to study with the College of Media and Publishing, I was a little concerned it would be an automated, impersonal experience. I couldn't have been more wrong.
My tutor, Justine Holman, was outstanding. Her feedback, guidance, and encouragement were of such enormous help. We couldn't be further apart geographically, yet she made me feel as if we were sitting next to each other. She was so attentive, thorough, and charismatic in all her communications with me.
I learned a great deal from the course materials and Justine's insights. I thoroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in developing their copywriting career.

The structure of the course is really easy to follow and it gives you a good introduction to proofreading. The course material is straightforward, with practical exercises. For every exercise you get direct feedback from the tutor, which is very helpful and lets you get the most out of the course.

It was a very informative course with lots of practical tasks to help develop skills and put into practice what I learned.

It was great having access to a tutor and the units were structured well to mean I could complete them at my own pace, whether fast or slow.

Absolutely fantastic. Not only the people part of this team are extremely personable but the ambiance even online is welcoming and supportive. The amount of material at the student disposal is considerable, it is well written and informative. My journey into this industry has been and is well looked after from start to finish and beyond. You are never left on your own and guided into how to make the best of this interesting and exciting career.
