‘The course was well organised, and the notes were very detailed. Working with Lorraine was wonderful and her feedback was invaluable.’ Taryn Paterson, Writing for SEO Copy Course
‘I found the course intense but enlightening. Intense in the sense that I really had to apply my mind. I’ve learned that it required not just creative writing but technical writing too. Teaching my brain the balance between right and left brain writing was quite something, but the overall product was always great. Lorraine is a wonderful tutor. She is firm, helpful and clearly very knowledgeable. I love studying through the college; it’s always educational and pleasant.’ Noreen Arangies, Writing SEO Copy for Websites Course
