I loved doing this course
I loved doing this course. The topic is fascinating and Shuna’s excellent and supportive guidance has made it a real pleasure to work through all the topics. The course content is high quality and varied and I feel it equips me well to start working as a proofreader and copy editor.
Thank you!

If you want to be a copywriter this is…course to do
If you want to be a copywriter this is the course to do. The lessons are really informative and helpful and your tutor gives you valuable advice. Afterwards you can apply to get help getting a job. A great experience at a good price.
Excellent course! Amazing tutors!
I enjoyed my time studying here. It was so convenient because I was able to work the projects around my own schedule, my tutors were so helpful and gave me great feedback on the assignments.
A great range of courses
A great range of courses. The copywriting course was easy to set up and simple to navigate. The lessons were informative, engaging, and helped me grasp the intricacies of a new and challenging subject, giving me confidence to pursue further knowledge and possibly a change of career.
A valuable and enjoyable course.
The Proofreading and editing course was both enjoyable and comprehensive. The modules were helpful and the assignments were challenging, and support was available if necessary.
Despite being an experienced English teacher with a degree in English Language and Literature, I still found that there was lots to learn and all of the information will be useful going forward.
My tutor was very good and marked my assignments promptly, giving useful feedback.
Comprehensive courses and excellent support
I completed the proofreading and copy editing course recently and would highly recommend it. The content was detailed and thorough, but easy to follow with clear examples in each unit. My tutor responded promptly to any queries and went into a lot of detail in her advice, which I found most helpful. CMP communications were excellent throughout. I feel well prepared to start taking on some clients and I know that my own writing has improved as a result.
Would highly recommend
I have really enjoyed the first course that I've done with College of Media and Publishing (Proofreading and Editing) and will likely be doing further courses with them.
The course material is well laid out and easy to understand, the staff are all very supportive and my tutor was always on hand to answer my questions.
A refreshing double qualification to focus years of experience
Having dealt in 'texts' of multiple kinds over many years as a teacher, letterpress hobbyist printer and community musician, I took the plunge and put myself through the CMP Proofreading and Editing Course during the days up to Easter 2025. My tutor Julian was prompt and positive throughout, and I found the materials both refreshing (of known skills / experience), informative and stimulating ~ with a dash of welcome humour to help matters along. Now, emboldened with a modicum of pride, I can add my official qualifications alongside my experience, as I seek interesting work that can be done from home and in one's own chosen time.
Great and comprehensive copywriting course
I just completed the copywriting course from College of Media and Publishing, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough! The course materials are extensive, practical, and well-structured. I learnt how to improve my writing, adapt to different formats (like blogs, outdoor ads, and paper-based mailings), and even gained valuable insights into job searching and developing a career.
My tutor, Julian Brouwer, was consistently supportive and kind, always providing thoughtful, encouraging feedback. His guidance kept me motivated throughout the course. I’ve learned so much and cannot wait to implement my new skills at work!
A great webwriting course
I thoroughly enjoyed studying webwriting with CMP. The course was well organised, the learning materials were clear and the whole experience was made easier by the online portal. The assignments provided enough challenge without being a huge burden on time and my tutor was always quick to respond with useful feedback. All in all, a very positive experience.
A well-structured and positive experience
I found the copywriting course well-structured and informative. It helped me to hone different forms of copy on my journey into freelancing and gave good advice around various resources I was previously unaware of. Tutor feedback was always positive and constructive, with easy access through the online portal. My only gripe was that a few of the resource links in the learning material were obsolete and in need of refreshing, but overall excellent value for money and would thoroughly recommend.
Highly recommended
I thoroughly enjoyed my Proofreading and Editing course with this college. The online learning platform is easy to navigate and the learning materials are clear and detailed. The tutor I had was brilliant too, marking assignments very quickly and providing valuable feedback. I highly recommend studying one of their courses.
Proofreading and copy editing course
I recently completed the Proofreading and copy editing course and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course content is clear and interesting. The learning materials are beautifully presented and my tutor was responsive and extremely helpful. I will definitely do another course with the College of Media and Publishing.
Straightforward process
The course was easy to understand and very straightforward. There was lots of support and advice from several sources including the tutor and experts in other fields of the course such as legal matters.
I would thoroughly recommend this course.
The Copywriting Course with the College of Media and Publishing
The Copywriting Course with the College of Media and Publishing is an excellent course. It is very comprehensive and thorough, consisting of 20 very detailed modules. Lucy and Julian were superb tutors and gave extremely helpful and timely feedback after each module assignment. Jake as Operations Director was very helpful and engaging regarding any queries when registering for the course and throughout. I highly recommend this copywriting course for the very valuable skills I've learned. Thank you all. Róisín Walpole
Top quality Copy Writing Course!
The Copy Writing Course was very interesting and covered the essential writing skills required to be a successful professional copy writer.
Each unit was self contained, consisting of essential advice on the different writing styles required for a wide range of audiences and purposes.
Each assignment, at the end of the unit, was designed to test your understanding of what you had read and to provide the opportunity to write appropriately.
I was very fortunate to have Julian as my tutor: He was very conscientious and professional and my assignments were marked and assessed very punctually. I benefited also from Julian’s advice and encouragement.
I would certainly recommend the College of Media and Publishing to study a variety of writing skills and professional opportunities.
Kind regards.
Stan Ollerton.
A great way to learn and apply your new knowledge
I really enjoyed the learning material and exercises. The theory and examples helped bring it to life and made it easy to apply to the assignments.
The tutor gave great feedback and it really boosted my confidence. I’ll definitely study with CMP again.
My experience of CMP so far.
I was impressed with CMP from my first contact with Ollie and signed up straight away. I have found the course information clear, detailed, and informative. The activities to do during each module are useful, helpful and enjoyable. I am learning all sorts of technical skills on my journey, too, which I never thought was possible at my age! So far so good with my results in the assignments, which spurs me on. All in all I am finding my course a joy.
