Frequently Asked Questions about the Write Better Company Newsletters Course
Who is this course for?
Anyone who writes, edits or oversees a company, council, government or organisational newsletter. The course will benefit you, whether you’re doing it for the first time or have years of experience and want to sharpen your approach.
Do I need writing experience?
No prior experience is required, though the course also suits experienced writers looking for a refresher or an outside perspective.
How does the course work?
You’ll receive course notes for each module, complete assignments based on newsletter writing, and receive individual written feedback from your tutor before moving on to the next module.
Why would I pay for this when I can use AI?
AI can generate newsletter copy, but it can’t assess your specific writing, your organisation’s tone, or your audience’s needs the way a professional editor can. Every assignment here is read and responded to by a human tutor with editing experience.
Numerous studies have found that humans prefer human-generated to AI-generated content. Even though it must be a professional production, a successful newsletter should be written from the heart.
Will anyone else see my newsletter drafts?
No. Your work remains private between you and your tutor.
What if my organisation has particular style or compliance requirements?
Your tutor can work within your existing style guide or compliance requirements. Many past students have written for organisations, including banks, councils and government departments, with specific standards to meet.
What are the conditions of certification?
Students receive a Writers’ College Certificate on completion, provided all assignments are submitted within the course time-frame and a minimum course average of 50% is obtained.
