College of Media and Publishing Anmeldelser 

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,

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.
