I love writing and this course was another stepping stone in my writing journey. I wasn't expecting to learn so many practical skills in such a short amount of time. I go through many periods of self doubt; the weekly feedback helped me stay on track and was validation that there is a writer in me somewhere!

The course got me very excited about the potential for copy writing, which for the most part I'd began to think was a dying art. Bernadette's tuition was insightful, perceptive, intelligent and honest- a testament to her experience and passion in the craft of copy writing.

The SEO component was particularly useful. I'm putting it to work already. The feedback from Bernadette was enormously helpful, very generous and comprehensive.

This is a great introductory course that gives you confidence to apply practical copywriting skills to any area of advertising or marketing. It has helped me stop second guessing myself and write succinct copy that sells.

Absolutely loved the course. Professional, practical, well thought out and organised. Loved Bernadette's recordings, helpful advice, handy hints and transfer of her wealth of knowledge in an accessible way.

I have undertaken a range of courses through the Australian Writers' Centre and each course connects you with an absolute expert in their particular field and provides you with theory and just as importantly practical application of the subject material. Immensely valuable knowledge and exercises.

If you are interested in becoming a better writer, check out the AWC. I highly recommend doing one of their courses. It helped me immensely.

Bernadette was great. After looking at the templates I realised I could easily write copy about anything. Australian Writers' Centre is great. They fast track your knowledge and your career.

Getting feedback made me do a happy dance. Bernadette was so impressive.

I enjoyed the eas of access for materials. Bernadette was professional, honest and yet nurturing. I like how she cuts through the fat, keeps things simple and conversational but is so meticulous with her craft. The Australian Writers' Centre's ease of access, professional teachers and a wide variety of content make the daunting steps into writing an enjoyable journey.

The feedback from assignments was good. Having never worked in copywriting at all before, it was good to hear if the work I was producing was correct. Bernadette was great - I especially appreciated her honest feedback. The feedback from assignments was good.

Bernadette is very engaging. Her feedback was great. Doing the course gave me confidence in my existing skills as a copywriter and enhanced them with key marketing elements in which I had no prior training. Absolutely worthwhile. A path to being a working writer. Thank you, Bernadette! You're an incredible mentor. Bernadette is very engaging. Her feedback was great.

I found my writing was a little more difficult for the last module until I sat down and realised that all I needed to do was use information from other modules. Specifically, outlining the features and benefits of the product I was writing about. Once I did that, the writing came easily. So overall I think I realised that, as most things in life, having a plan and breaking down what you're writing about before writing, is essential. I highly recommended AWC online courses as they are easy to follow and well worth the cost.

I thought Bernadette was very good: She combined a focussed approach with anecdotal examples and comments on her experiences. She was confident and had a congenial manner but was, importantly, very attuned to getting across what we needed to know and learn.

Bernadette was fantastic, and her industry insight and experience really had an impact on me. I can read about 'how to be a copywriter' anywhere, but she gave me a sense of the reality of it. It's really well paced. Bernadette was very fun and knowledgeable. Homework is required which really helps you embed the learnings...and also why it's so much better than a 'free' copywriting course/email funnels that are out there.

This is a top quality course, well structured and very practical but also fun. The presenter has a lovely style and is a joy to learn from.

The Copywriting Essentials course online is so practical you can put it into practice straight away. The modules can be listened to when you're on the go, and the assignments are actually fun to do. The lessons within the course apply to so many aspects of communication - not only writing a specific piece of content.

I absolutely loved this course! I eagerly awaited each new module and found the content, assignments and feedback invaluable. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their copywriting skills. I have been working as a copywriter but had not been working to a specific creative brief. The module on this, and the other documents and handy tricks to help you start and keep writing, have been invaluable. I realised I was lacking a structure to work to. Copywriting Essentials has changed the way I work for the better.

This course was wonderful and I will be signing up for more. I personally found it economical as well - what I spent on this course was less than what I would have had to pay someone else to do the copywriting on my website. I now feel confident to do it myself - and also potentially do it for others.

AWC is brilliant. They offer very practical courses that are value for money. If you are thinking of becoming a writer or want to improve your current writing, AWC delivers.

Bernadette is a wonderful mentor and coach. Her succinct style cuts to the chase and affirms everything I hoped to take away from each module in as few words as possible, highlighting the point of the course!

Bernadette is an amazing tutor. She laid out course content so that it was easy to absorb. Her detailed lessons and handouts allowed me to get the most out of the course. Her feedback was constructive, straightforward and included some great extra points to think about! This made it easier to go into the following assignments. I couldn't praise her enough.

Bernadette is fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and her experience shines through in the feedback she provides each week following the homework submissions. I was super excited to work for a 'real' client throughout the course to use the techniques explained. I am updating the client's website using SEO to form the beginnings of a portfolio of work for my next client - the course will pay for itself thanks to Bernadette's pragmatic notes, examples and valuable feedback. Thank you Bernadette.

Bernadette was absolutely fantastic as the online lecturer and her feedback to the assignments were incredible.

Every course I have done with AWC has been of the highest quality. No time is wasted, and you have the amazing ability to cut through to exactly what is needed. This means that they are always of high value and yet time efficient. Who doesn't love that combo! It is great to benefit from Bernadette's extensive experience. Her insights and anecdotes add colour to the content of an online course as well as enhancing your understanding of the technical aspects. A great presenter. Thank you.

Bernadette is great - I really like her tone and style of delivering information. Her sense of humour really comes across in the modules and feedback too which is really refreshing. Obviously she is very successful in what she does and I do feel like I have been learning from a master of the trade. Bernadette's feedback was both encouraging and honest. I liked how she took the time to explain her thoughts on how each piece might be tweaked or improved, while still making me feel good about what I had written! The encouragement and comments from other students was a really nice thing. There was a sense of camaraderie throughout the course. I would say, if you are interested in learning about a particular style of writing, and you have the money, you should definitely check out the AWC. You will be learning from some pretty inspiring people who are at the top of their game in the industry - and you will learn absolutely heaps.

Forget expensive degrees and lengthy courses - if you want to learn how to write with impact then enrol with AWC and do the Copywriting Essentials Course. I am six months away from completing a degree in Communications and Media and I honestly feel it has been a complete waste of time and money. I've gotten more practical skills in this short course that I have from the three year, very expensive degree - that's the honest truth of it.

This course was outstanding. Bernadette delivered practical, useable content that I was able to apply immediately in my own writing business. I recouped the course fees almost immediately thanks to a web copywriting project for a new client ‚ and I believe the confidence and skills I gained from the course helped me to win and complete this work. The client wrote back to me just this week saying, 'We love what you have done here!'. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Copywriting Essentials course to all friends and colleagues.

Loved the fact that I didn't have to worry about doing heaps of research, all the research was done for us. It was fun and quick so no stress getting assignments in. Feedback was right on the button and it was good to be able to see other student's assignments and hear their feedback. Extremely enjoyable. Bernadette was exceptional ‚ extremely knowledgeable, helpful, entertaining and has a lovely voice I could listen to all day. AWC is fresh, exciting, inspirational and extremely helpful in building English language skills, and quite frankly, more entertaining than social media sites.

Fantastic course. Packed such a lot in to such a manageable time line. I absolutely loved it. I learnt so much. Every part of each module was relevant, so not a moment of your time is wasted. Great content and a great presenter in the experienced and highly credentialed Bernadette. Bernadette's depth of industry experience and knowledge really comes through ‚ she is also very motivating and inspires confidence.

I loved how I could download the audio and listen to the course while I was walking along the beach. It helped me kill two birds with one stone, exercise and study! I found Bernadette to be highly knowledgeable and I enjoyed her sense of humour. I also enjoyed her honest and supportive feedback. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course material was well laid out and easy to navigate through. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure you are supposed to have fun while learning, but I did and gained useful new-found knowledge in the process.

The course modules are presented in an effective easy to understand style. Bernadette has an engaging voice to listen to - not dreary or dull, or sounding like she was reading from a script. The handouts are useful resources for the future. Bernadette's knowledge came through in our homework responses and the weekly modules. Her passion for and experience with copywriting helped make a dry topic quite the opposite. If you want a practical, hands on course to give you the skills for the real world the AWC is the place to go. The course modules are presented in an effective easy to understand style.

Bernadette came across as very passionate and knowledgeable. Her friendly, conversational tone and personal anecdotes not only made the tutorials easy to listen to, but enjoyable as well, and she went out of her way to ensure that each participant received personalised feedback for every assignment. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about copywriting.

Having studied writing at university and online through the Australian Writers' Centre, I believe AWC courses are the best way to go for anyone who is serious about their writing career. Since no grades are given, the atmosphere is less rigid, allowing for greater creative freedom. I felt less pressured to get it right than I did when I knew my degree was depending on it.

Completing this course gave me the courage to start my own blog, which is something I had always wanted to do, but put off due to lack of confidence. Now, after two weeks, I have more followers than posts!

Bernadette's insistence on being proactive also convinced me to start sending out pitches. I have already had one success in this area after a prominent international website agreed to publish my piece.

I can't thank you all enough!

Right from the start Bernadette encouraged us to have fun with it and that's exactly what it felt like, fun. I most enjoyed being able to let the creative juices flow around the structure that Bernadette provided. She continually encouraged us throughout the course and always gave constructive feedback. She is also the first tutor/teacher that has made me feel like learning something new, that could lead to something more in my career, was truly possible and achievable. She has inspired me to pursue copywriting. Worth doing, you cannot lose and you'll learn more than you think possible - just give it a go!

Bernadette gave more than I expected, which was a great surprise and has really made the course something to rave about. I found it easy and pleasurable to do the course. I really looked forward to each module. The Copywriting Essentials Course is the best online copywriting course that I have ever done, and would highly recommend.

Bernadette is an incredible teacher who's able to word anything in an understandable way. The downloadable versions of the presentations have been printed out and are now stored into Module binders above my desk, and I refer to each of them often. The Creative Brief was an instant hit with my clients, and it has made my life soooooo much easier. The innumerable tricks of the trade have literally changed my life! Bernadette was the PERFECT coach for me. To be honest, her knowledge and experience were of a higher quality than I thought I would be receive on an online course. Her encouragement and constructive criticism were both delivered in a way that left you feeling really good about yourself and your improved skillset. When it comes to increasing your skillset, the Australian Writers' Centre courses are second to none. If you want real value for money, then the AWC is only way to go.

I have a demanding job but making the time to do this course has been refreshing and given me the opportunity to think creatively. I particularly valued learning how to plan and take a creative brief to understand clients' business and goals.

I found that I really looked forward to the new week's course work, and then submitting assignments. The weekly workload fitted nicely within my busy week. I loved Bernadette's constructive feedback and how she framed it. I appreciated her genuine encouragement when we fulfilled the brief. Her passion for copywriting shone through.

I loved learning and being able to apply it to my everyday writing. I write a blog each week and just by using one of the headline formulas, my blog had loads more traffic!! Do it!! If you're thinking about writing and making a career out of it, find a course through the AWC - this is the second one I've done.

You could learn how to write a novel, write travel articles, learn how to set up a blog or set up your own freelance writing business. The courses are informative and manageable, even if you have a busy lifestyle. Some online courses can be done at your own pace, so there's no excuse not to enrol!

I love the chance to focus on writing that the course gave me. Bernadette was very personable and engaging. The Australian Writers' Centre are very well-respected and they know their sh*t.

The way the course was generally presented - the combination of videos, handouts and 'bonus' material was a great way to learn and I love that I now have these resources to refer back to when working with each new client. Loved the way Bernadette presented each module. She was informative, friendly, and an obvious expert. I knew I was learning from a pro in the field, which is exactly what I was after - not an academic. AWC was a game changer for my career! Not only did they add another skill set to my freelance writing business, but it has changed the way I approach my work, clients, taking a brief, negotiating my fee as well as the way I present and sell my services online and in person.

I learnt so much from this course. It was succinct and to the point so that I got the most out of every lesson. Bernadette's classes were very clear and concise. She reiterated important points but had easy to remember formulas and notes for everything. I couldn't be happier with this course. Bernadette was a wealth of knowledge. She was encouraging and insightful in her feedback and supportive in her criticisms. She is fantastic. DO IT! The course is excellent. You can do it in your own time and the feedback is really helpful and insightful. You'll learn so much!

I enjoyed that the course was short, sharp, and didn't waste my time, as well as it delivering some great, practical content. Bernadette is a true professional who takes the time to give individual feedback to everyone. I loved having her as my tutor. I've done another course with AWC and loved it! Their courses are for writers, by writers. They have practical content that doesn't waste your time and helps you become a better writer.

I really enjoyed the overall visibility of the classroom, the spoken feedback and the sense that you were being passed on secrets and tricks. My impression of Bernadette's expertise was immediate, she has a teaching technique that does not talk down but also does not assume anything in terms of understanding or comprehension . I could have done with a teacher like that in High school. This is a unique organisation that is producing a range of learning experiences. it is a social network also that recognises the solitary nature of writing by connecting like-minded people through courses, groups and energetic social media.

I loved the interaction with other students, the shared knowledge. It was just like being in a physical classroom, without the parking or travel issues. Bernadette is very professional. Her experience in this and other related fields are gold. I am grateful to have benefited from them. I would have no hesitation in recommending these courses. The content is completed in your own time, at your own location, and the feedback makes you feel like you are in an actual classroom.

This is the second online course I have undertaken, and it exceeded my expectations. The format was really simple, and Bernadette's style was inclusive, encouraging, and practical. I can't fault this course. I'm so glad I did it! Thank you Bernadette and thank you AWC.

I enjoyed the teaching notes, exercises and as someone who is new to copywriting, every experience was new to me. Bernadette was knowledgeable, experienced, approachable, and honest. How I wish she could mentor me further in copywriting. Excellent tutors, great notes: Jump in; what are you waiting for?

The feedback from Bernadette was fantastic. She was very generous and gave useful, practical advice, as well as being warm, funny and very knowledgeable. I loved the learning format, it was perfect! I would love to run courses using the same format based on my areas of expertise. Thank you AWC!

The delivery of the class was great. I really liked the timeline of the class, having a deadline helped me make time for course, and benefit from the content. Bernadette was excellent! She was very knowledgeable, and clear. We were given a lot of information about techniques and tools, and why they work, and are useful. The assessments gave us a chance to focus on specific aspects of copy, and the feedback was helpful.

I enjoyed the abundance of useful information provided! It was a real value to my current business as well as future copywriting business!! I loved the way Bernadette presented this herself. She is a fantastic presenter, very conversational and it felt like you were in a room with her! I was happy overall! I would definitely recommend!

I have learnt so much - things I would never had considered when writing copy. Bernadette is fantastic. She is a wealth of information! AWC make it easy to learn online and support you with your writing journey. I'll definitely be back!

I had not done an online course before and found this very easy to manage. I enjoyed that I could listen to the lectures and do the tasks when it suited me. Apart from being extremely knowledgeable, Bernadette comes across as personable and friendly - freely sharing all her tips and secrets - which I guess was the point of the course! Her recorded lectures sound like a very personal chat. AWC's range of courses is wonderful - for writers and non-writers alike.

I've been to plenty of short courses and, while they're great at the time, the knowledge doesn't tend to stick - too short, not practical, poor materials. This was my first course with the AWC and I must say ‚ wow! I loved every single week. I looked forward to the challenge of the homework tasks. I found the video tutorials engaging, the information clear and digestible, but most importantly - everything has been incredibly memorable. It has already improved my writing in so many ways and given me the confidence to know I could pursue a freelance copywriting career. I'm also super keen as a jelly bean to do more courses with AWC...I have a hunger now! So many choices...I enjoyed everything. I loved learning from Bernadette and having things broken down into easy to manage chunks each week. I also loved the assignments and being able to share work with the other students. It was good to see how people approached the same task in such unique ways - it was a real lesson in the fact that there isn't one right way to the same end...there are principals to guide you, but how you apply them is going to be different to anyone else. And that is ok! Just have fun with it. This has been the most practical, fantastic course I have ever done - including my bachelor degree. There's something to be said for really targeted, practical learning on a topic. This course has made me a more considered writer and I just want to keep going with more courses now. Do it! This is the most fun I've ever had studying. You will enjoy what you're doing and you'll increase your knowledge and skills considerably in only five weeks.

I was blown away by the quality of this course and how much I learnt in five weeks. I loved Bernadette's energy. She was amazing, I couldn't fault her. I highly recommend the Copywriting Essentials course ‚ you will learn so much in just a few weeks. I was blown away by the quality of this course and how much I learnt in five weeks.

The tutor and materials were fantastic and I'm sure I'll consult the handouts regularly in future. I loved that you could download the audio and listen to it anytime, anywhere. I'd often listen to it on walks around the neighbourhood or while doing housework. Bernadette is very engaging: knowledgeable and entertaining. I love that she has a sense of humour and tells it like it is (but not meanly). She has a great voice too, which is easy to listen to. Her feedback was very thorough and helpful too.

The materials were fantastic. Bernadette's voice on the presentations is mesmerising, I would love to write a series of novella's and have her put them to tape! I was mostly surprised at how easily I could pick up the skills, and instantly utilise them to create great copy (even if only for a beginner). I enjoyed the direct nature of the approach and that the templates and tricks made copywriting really easy. Bernadette was very knowledgeable & believable. Her feedback was supportive and useful. Easy to understand. Easy to apply. Great value for money. I highly recommend the Copywriting Essentials course. The materials were fantastic.

Bernadette is a highly engaging and entertaining trainer - even when she's pre-recorded. Her anecdotes brought the course content to life. The feedback provided was very helpful. The fact that it was audio feedback meant that Bernadette went into some depth and listening to feedback on other students' work was enormously helpful too. I was worried that the online lectures would be boring, However, they were the opposite! Bernadette's brief lectures were digestible, concise, engaging and even entertaining. The AWC Copywriting online course is high-quality, engaging, convenient and value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed it, learnt more than I was hoping to, and am already changing the way I write. Don't think twice about this course - just sign up.

I really enjoyed how easy it was to fit into my busy life with two small children. I also loved that the assignments weren't too much of a burden and I was able to complete them relatively quickly within the timeframe. I loved having Bernadette as my tutor - she provided useful and friendly feedback. I really looked forward to hearing what she had to say about everyone's assignments. Follow your writing passion - it's easier than you think. In fact it's a no-brainer really - in this digital world where attention spans are short - you really need to learn the art of writing words well. And learning online is easy, convenient and affordable. Invest in yourself - it'll open so many doors.

I would highly recommend the AWC for its practical and no-BS courses. There is no padding and you get what you pay for - quality content taught by people in the know.

What I loved most about this course is that I could put everything straight into practice. After the SEO copywriting module, I went through all my web pages and optimised the snippets which instantly led to better Google rankings. With the tools we learned in the course, I feel much better prepared to hit the copywriting market place. Thanks, Bernadette Schwerdt, for your wisdom and constructive feedback!

I really enjoyed Bernadette as a presenter. She has a warm and friendly nature and was very clear in her explanations. I also thought the content was great value. Bernadette was wonderful! I really enjoyed her warm and friendly nature. She was clear with her explanations and her personality came through even though we never 'saw' her. Honestly, I can't think of anything that could be improved upon. I love the fact that I can log on when it suits me. I also enjoy being able to go back to certain parts of the lessons that may have been unclear and taking breaks whenever I needed one. I was afraid at first that I would miss out by not being a physical classroom, but I've now done a few online courses and I don't feel I am. It was super easy; the teachers are professionals with a mountain of experience and that the course worked with my schedule which makes my life easier! 10/10 would recommend!

It's very obvious that Bernadette is very experienced in copywriting. The online lessons were easy to listen to and she provided lots of hints and tips along the way. It was super easy and convenient. The system is excellent. It is easy to navigate and use. The best thing was being able to view the modules in your own time. The course gives you a great overview of copywriting.

I most enjoyed learning and developing a new skill. Bernadette was very informative and knowledgeable and responded to questions very promptly. The mode of delivery was very easy and very convenient. The best thing about it is the ease of access and being able to complete the homework in your own time. The course has been informative and online learning is very convenient. Very professional and fun course.

I just did this copywriting course and the lady who ran was very experienced and broke the copy writing process into easy, manageable chunks plus gave great templates, so you can get up and running immediately. The mode of delivery gave us flexibility but also kept up the momentum! Bernadette was very experienced and very generous with her knowledge. I really enjoyed the upbeat lectures and the templates that make it really easy.

The Copywriting Essentials course was easy to follow and understand. It provided me with skills and confidence to be a copywriter. Bernadette is first class. She made everything easy to understand; she kept me interested and I really enjoyed the course. She gave excellent feedback on our assignments. Nothing I could think of could improve the course. The online mode of delivery was convenient and allowed me to do it on my own time. All the audio and handouts were clearly labelled which made it all super-efficient and was exactly what I expected from AWC. If writing is your passion and you seriously want to learn/improve your writing skills, you can't do better than enrolling with Australian Writers Centre.

I loved Bernadette's conversational presentation. I felt like I was actually in a classroom, face to face with her. She combined theory and her own experience seamlessly, making her information both useful and fun. I found the course provided everything I wanted from it and more, with bonus handouts and checklists. The online delivery was very easy and highly convenient as it allowed me to complete the course at a time/times that worked for me. If you want a convenient, useful course that's also value for money, take a look at Australian Writers Centre.

The materials were useful for undertaking the course and will be a valuable resource for future reference. The additional module and eBook are also a bonus. Bernadette was a great tutor. She clearly had years of experience in copywriting and provided really good materials to help us understand the basics of copywriting. Doing the course online was very easy and convenient, it worked really well for me. I have already recommended the AWC to a fellow blogger from the US.

I learned so many new skills and techniques which have changed my approach to copywriting for the better! Bernadette was fantastic. Really inspiring. I received useful and constructive feedback on assignments. I can't think of any improvements to the course ‚ I have done several courses with AWC, all have been great ‚ but this was fantastic. The courses at AWC are valuable, practical and you learn from industry professionals ‚ not just a lecturer.

I enjoyed all the tips, techniques and templates that I can apply straight away in my own work and business. Bernadette was excellent had a wealth of knowledge and experience to share, and I appreciated the individual feedback she provided on each of our assignments. The online delivery was amazing! The convenience of being able to fit the course in when it suited my schedule and commitments was a winner for me! I have already recommended courses to a number of friends.

The information was presented clearly and developed logically. The assessments were a good learning activity too. Bernadette was very positive in her feedback, and her personal experiences were insightful. The online delivery was great, it was the only way I could have managed to do the course at the moment! I'd recommend as it's manageable to do while working, it's convenient because you can do it at night, weekends, and so forth. It's quality information presented by very experienced practitioners.

The content was great - very comprehensive, practical and easy to follow. Bernadette was knowledgeable, had a good presentation style and was engaging. I don't feel anything needs to be done to improve the course. The online classroom is perfect, especially for those who have full time jobs or commitments during the day. Being able to study at a time that suits the student, whilst having homework deadlines ticks the boxes for both flexibility and discipline. Just do it!

Online Copywriting Essentials was awesome. I really enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend. The work load was manageable for me and the supporting documentation is fantastic. Bernadette is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She maintains a chatty tone even when it's a recording. The course is a great way to learn about copywriting and that the structure is enjoyable, not overly demanding, and super rewarding and practical.

I enjoyed the course material, and I really liked the way the feedback on assignments was presented ‚ with feedback on each person's attempt, which allowed us to learn from the group. Bernadette is excellent, and clearly knows her industry. Her manner is engaging and personable, and she makes a strong effort to be relatable and constructive. The online delivery was very easy. The best thing was my ability to participate from a different time zone, but still do a course based in Australia, which is my home country. The course was excellent. I would recommend it, if you're unable to participate in something local and in person ‚ the ability to participate online is great.

I enjoyed the formulas and techniques shared to help understand the process of successful copywriting. I loved Bernadette's fair and informative critiques. The opportunity to hear the positives and negatives of everyone's work was invaluable. Working on a computer for 9 hrs a day, 5 days a week meant I could just listen to the assignment once through the week then revisit it on the Sunday to complete the assignment with comfort. The Copywriting Essentials online course is a good opportunity to extend your grey matter and have fun in the process.

I enjoyed learning the theory/tricks behind copywriting, Bernadette's presentation style and her feedback. She's obviously very knowledgeable about the topic but also extremely supportive/positive in the way she provides feedback. I appreciated having the video to watch every week and also being able to download the slides and audio, which are fantastic for future reference. I have already promoted this course to friends and one has signed up for the next course! Overall, the courses on offer from AWC are great. This is my second course and I will do another in the future without hesitation.

I couldn't pin-point just one element of the course I enjoyed, I loved the whole thing! I Really found it interesting, stimulating and informative. It was very easy to follow and had great resources. Bernadette was fantastic! She had a very clear voice as well as instructions and very appropriate feedback. Bernadette seemed genuinely interested in what the participants were producing. The online classroom was very easy. It was easy access materials and downloads. Just go for it! You will enjoy it and be satisfied with the service.

Bernadette's expertise and her insightful feedback was invaluable - I ended up getting so much more out of the course than I expected. Bernadette was great. She provided clear instruction, shared so much knowledge and provided really constructive feedback. I don't have any suggestions for improvement - I enjoyed every moment. I liked the convenience of doing it whenever it suited me and to work around family and other commitments. I also liked the fact you didn't have to spend hours upon hours doing the course each week - it was just enough to learn what you needed without being overwhelmed. The AWC is professional, approachable and knowledgeable. If you want to learn to be a better writer, you need to take a AWC course. I already have recommended to friends!

I love to write and even though I have done some copywriting courses, it is always great to get refreshed and keep up to date with current trends. I loved how Bernadette created an element of fun to each tutorial. I loved listening to Bernadette. She has a lovely voice and I felt like I was just sitting having lunch or a cuppa with her while I listened. She was very personable in her approach. I will miss her. If you're looking to do a course at AWC ‚ go for it! They're efficient, effective and fun!

I loved the constructive criticism. In the weekly feedback, Bernadette gave each student tips to improve their writing and did it in a sensitive way geared to encouraging, not deflating, the participants. I enjoyed listening to all the feedback each week. Gave me a lot of food for thought. I loved Bernadette. She shared her own real-life copywriting scenarios to emphasise particular lessons, hints and tips. She sounded really open and encouraging in her modules and feedback each week (and also has a very pleasant voice to listen to - which kept my attention, even though I was listening to the lessons on my sofa!). The course couldn't be improved upon ‚ I thought it was great; perfect length, perfect amount of content to get through. The AWC has professional short courses that are perfect for the time poor or those wanting to enhance their existing skill set.

The examples Bernadette used were interesting and varied, which helped me learn how to write a variety of different types of copy in a variety of industries. Bernadette was well spoken, intelligent and I never had any doubt she knew what she was talking about. I thought she was wonderful. The online delivery was very easy, and it was really nice to be able to just sit on my sofa with a notebook and watch the course videos. The AWC offers great value for money. Not only can you take online and in-person courses, but the staff (especially Valerie Khoo and Allison Tait in my experience) are always available on social media for quick questions and advice on writing.

The best thing about the course was the combination of a homework deadline but the ability to complete the module in your own time during the week. I also liked the break down, step by step of how to complete copywriting tasks for clients. Bernadette was fantastic, she made copywriting accessible to us. You must complete one of these courses if you are serious about a career in writing. As someone new to the industry, you don't know what you don't know. The Australian Writers' Centre gives you the grounding and information to take your writing from novice to professional in a few weeks.

Thank you for all the tips, techniques and templates that I can apply straight away in my own work and business.

Learning copywriting online is easy and convenient. I could view and listen in my own time but still had the structure to complete assignments on a weekly basis.

Bernadette, THANK YOU! The delivery and content of Copywriting Essentials far exceeded my expectations. I hung onto every word and will revisit the lessons to glean more from the hard work and expertise you generously shared. I'm truly grateful.

What I enjoyed most about the course was the challenge posed by each of the homework assignments. These increased in length and complexity over the five weeks, so that by the end of the course we had all the tools we needed to write a complete advertisement. Bernadette came across as very passionate and knowledgeable. Her friendly, conversational tone and personal anecdotes not only made the tutorials easy to listen to, but enjoyable as well, and she went out of her way to ensure that each participant received personalised feedback for every assignment. I recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about copywriting. Having studied writing at university and online through the Australian Writers' Centre, I believe AWC courses are the best way to go for anyone who is serious about their writing career. Since no grades are given, the atmosphere is less rigid, allowing for greater creative freedom. I felt less pressured to get it right than I did when I knew my degree was depending on it. Completing this course gave me the courage to start my own blog, which is something I had always wanted to do, but put off due to lack of confidence. Now, after two weeks, I have more followers than posts! Bernadette's insistence on being proactive also convinced me to start sending out pitches. I have already had one success in this area after a prominent international website agreed to publish my piece. I can't thank you all enough!

Right from the start Bernadette encouraged us to have fun with with the course and that's exactly what it felt like ‚ fun. I most enjoyed being able to let the creative juices flow around the structure that Bernadette provided. Bernadette was a fantastic tutor. She clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience and was extremely open to sharing that with the group. Her audio feedback made it feel very personalised and warm. She provided a professional yet relaxed approach which made it very easy to participate in the course. She continually encouraged us throughout the course and always gave constructive feedback. She is also the first tutor that has made me feel like learning something new ‚ that could lead to something more in my career, was truly possible and achievable. She has inspired me to pursue copywriting. The process to enrol and get started in the course was clear and easy to follow ‚ I think AWC does that very well. It felt quite personalised which is more than I expect from an online course. Bernadette was inspiring as a tutor. I think overall we were provided with a safe and supportive learning environment. Thank you. Worth doing, you cannot lose and you'll learn more than you think possible ‚ just give it a go!

It was practical, to the point and very relevant. Bernadette presented the course in a very professional and very informative manner. She provided a lot of industry experience and knowledge. The whole course was an 'a-ha' moment for me. The industry experience made this course more realistic and the tips provided along the way we're very helpful. Do any course at the Australian Writers' Centre. They are all fabulous and you will get a lot out of them.

The structure was paced in a way that made it much less 'hard work' than other courses I've done. The mystery around copywriting was also removed. I found it easy and pleasurable to do the course. I really looked forward to each module. I loved Bernadette's easy, stress-free manner. I felt encouraged all the way, even when I submitted a poor assignment. Perhaps that's when you learn the most! Anyway, I do appreciate her kindness and tolerance for dummies! It was a 'fundamentals' course, but exceeded that expectation, taking things further. Copywriting Essentials at AWC is the best online copywriting course that I have ever done, and highly recommend it. Thanks again to Bernadette for giving me the knowledge and confidence to step forward and start to think seriously about a career in the copywriting industry.

I enjoyed being able to do the course when it suited me. I liked Bernadette ‚ she seemed friendly and knowledgeable on the subject, and always gave extensive feedback. The courses at the Australian Writers' Centre offer a good platform and knowledge base to get you started on you career as a writer.

I loved how I could download the audio and listen to the course while I was walking along the beach. It helped me kill two birds with one stone, exercise and study! I found Bernadette to be highly knowledgeable and I enjoyed her sense of humour. I also enjoyed her honest and supportive feedback. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course material was well laid out and easy to navigate through. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure you are supposed to have fun while learning but I did and gained useful newfound knowledge in the process. I would say it is definitely worth it. You will learn something new.

I especially enjoyed the section on SEO and I think it will prove to be particularly useful in my small business. Bernadette has a pleasant speaking voice. I'd highly recommend it. Thank you Australian Writers' Centre!

I enjoyed the structure and content. Bernadette was excellent. You should just do it!

I absolutely LOVED Copywriting Essentials. I couldn't wait each Monday for the next module to be released. I particularly love Bernadette's teaching style. Thanks again, it is great to be part of your writing community.

I've done a number of AWC courses and this was the best, most practical course that gets you business-ready the moment you've finished the course. Bernadette is superb. She knows her stuff and how to present in a way that builds the students' knowledge in the best most practical way. This is a great method of delivery. Unfortunately, I live about 600km from the nearest AWC, so an online course works best for me. The fact that I can also listen to the presentations and do the assignments at times that suit me is a major plus. Just do it! You can't go wrong with the AWC.

I love that Copywriting Essentials has provided great foundational tools to change my career. I didn't have to spend too many hours per week to do course work and assignments.

I'd say the course I did absolutely provided great value for money and I didn't feel like it was a waste of time.

I liked my class, we all had that enthusiasm for learning. The audio was very clear. I had no issues hearing and understanding it.
