1-to-1 Virtual Training

Bespoke copywriting training tailored to your needs

Delivered live online for individuals and groups – wherever they are based

Everyone who writes copy or content faces a different set of challenges depending on the product, medium and purpose they’re writing for.

Perhaps you’re trying to find engaging ways to tackle a dry subject, find the right voice for your target audiences, or think up a constant supply of fresh ideas for social media. Whatever your individual challenges, the best kind of help is always that which is tailored to your specific needs.

Our virtual training provides the focused, individual support you need to overcome your personal copywriting challenges. Each course is carefully tailored to you (or your group) and delivered live online by an expert trainer and copywriter.

The training is highly interactive, with plenty of discussion and practical elements. You’ll leave equipped with a set of relevant and useful tools that will sharpen your copy and help you overcome even the thorniest copywriting problems.

How it works

After an initial consultation we’ll quickly put together a session plan for you to sign-off to confirm your booking.

Your training is delivered by our expert trainer via a one-to-one video call. You’ll be able to interact, ask questions, see a tailored presentation and share documents – just like you would in-person. The main course is normally around two hours in length, and is followed by a 30 minute check-in session after a couple of weeks. 

Following the training you’ll also receive a PDF handbook covering everything discussed during the course, and your trainer remains available to you via email for any additional support you need to apply your learning. 

Content

Course content is completely personalised to your needs. Over the years we’ve built a huge bank of training content to draw on, and can develop new modules to meet any specific requirements.
