The course packed a lot in and the assignments required a lot of thought and effort. It wasn't possible to take short cuts! This ensured all the knowledge and techniques in that section had to be thoroughly understood. This has prepared me very well for a freelance career in copywriting and I already have work.

I was immediately given the impression of a highly professional and sincere company, and that sealed the deal for me - I knew that CA was the right course me! I wasn't disappointed. I can't imagine I would have received anywhere near the excellent tutoring and expert guidance I received from CA had I chosen the other course.

It took me a while to pluck up the courage to take on a copywriting course, and I did lots of research before I chose the Copywriting Apprentice. And I didn't regret it.

The Copywriting Apprentice course takes you from whatever level you are at and guides you through. It starts with foundational basics and gradually builds your copywriting skills and confidence. At the same time it guides you as you start to set up your business. All topics are dealt with in depth, so you can work at your own speed for each, according to where your strengths and weaknesses lie.
