My trainer was fantastic, engaging and shared the content with such ease for easy digestion. I've taken so much away from the course and implemented lots already. Thank you for such a wonderful day.

Dermalogica · Professional Copywriting — May 2026

My trainer was fantastic. His genuine interest in the topic of Copywriting and his curiosity are contagious. The overall structure of the course felt natural and smooth, which resulted in the whole room being focused until the last minute. I will make sure to make the most out of the tricks and tips he has shared with us today. 5/5 stars!

Dermalogica UK · Professional Copywriting — April 2026

Ogilvy · Professional Copywriting — March 2026

Patsy was engaging and delivered the content well. It provoked a lot of discussion and was really good food for thought on how we do things as a company.

Dermalogica · Professional Copywriting — February 2026

Amazing workshop! A lot of learnings to take away!! Interested throughout.

Dermalogica · Professional Copywriting — February 2026

I found the course extremely helpful and can definitely apply what I have learned into my role as a designer. Specifically, I think AIDA will help me to interpret the copy that comes through on a brief and highlight/define a hierarchy between the messaging/CTA's. Also, as a designer I think this course was so helpful to then be able to know when to go back to the marketeer with any feedback on length of copy/purpose of the copy.

Dermalogica · Professional Copywriting — February 2026

I found the course eye opening as it gave me an insight into the importance of being open minded when copywriting.

Dermalogica · Professional Copywriting — February 2026

Was a comprehensive day for an introductory course. Trainer was clear and well educated, enjoyed the interactive tasks and was all applicable to the work that I do in copywriting for the company.

Dermalogica · Professional Copywriting — February 2026

I love training with Piers. His training style is well suited to my way of learning (which is challenging for most lecturers). He is extremely patient and so very knowledgeable.

KPMG · Professional Copywriting — February 2026

Piers delivered a very engaging course. His knowledge is prolific. As a 'newbie' I found it easy to follow and understand. A very humble man who was extremely encouraging. I thoroughly enjoyed the course (and even the final exercise). Thank you Piers

Oak Furnitureland · Professional Copywriting — February 2026

Gorgeous premises and lovely, knowledgeable team. I really enjoyed my course (Adobe Firefly) - the tutor was friendly and professional and happy to answer any questions and tailor the course (I was the only student so had my own private session). The class room and the whole building is really well done, modern, clean and professional space that reflects the overall approach. They have fast and modern machines available to use or you can use your own devices. Highly recommended.

Quadrotech — June 2026

Fantastic and super valuable training! Fantastic and super valuable training! Tony shaped the training fully to our needs, adapted, accelerated and deep diving when needed. I learned so much these past days with tangible examples Tony provided.

Adobe — June 2026

The trainer, Lee, was excellent. He rattled through the key elements of Premiere Pro while keeping the course interactive and engaging. The small sessions made it easy to get 1:1 support or clarifications. The pleasant and well equipped office is well situated in Kensal Rise, so easy to find and get to. I learnt a alot - and now feel up to date with latest Premiere Pro options and AI integrations.
