How it Works

All of our courses are delivered by email, so you’ll receive the first part of your course within three hours of enrolling. You can work through your course at your own pace and contact your tutor at any time if you have any questions or there is anything you would like to discuss.

Your course modules can be save to your computer or printed off, so you can work through the material at any time in a way that is most convenient for you. It isn’t necessary to be online.

Tutors can offer individual advice appropriate to your unique situation, to ensure that you begin earning a living from your writing as soon as possible. Your tutor will begin by assessing the current standard or your writing and then tailor your course and assignments to ensure speedy development of key writing and marketing skills.

Develop your writing skills with support from an expert tutor!

The course fee includes everything you need to complete your course. As soon as you book your course your study material will be delivered to your inbox so you can get started right away.  Your course fee includes:

• - your course materials, which are yours to keep;
• - individual tuition for the duration of your studies;
• - e-mail and telephone support from your personal tutor;
• - general support and guidance from School for Writers advisers.

Why home study?

Distance learning is an effective, flexible way to learn. It means that you study at a distance from your tutor rather than in a classroom. You work through course materials written by specialists and send your assignments to an expert personal tutor for feedback on your work. You can also contact your tutor at any stage if you need additional help or advice. Most students enjoy working through their learning materials and assignments. You’ll work through carefully structured modules with defined learning objectives, and try out activities to practice your skills. Each course has a set number of assignments. The course materials give full guidance on how to prepare and complete each one.

How much time will I need?

This will depend partly on the course you choose, but it also depends on how much time you can spend on your studies. The advantage of our courses is that you can study at your own pace and in your own time. There are no deadlines. You have up to 12 months to complete your course although most students complete their studies much more quickly than this.
