Course Description
Distance learning course of 8 lessons
One can only be taught to write as one can be taught to paint, or to play a musical instrument. We can give potential writers the basic techniques. We can suggest, counsel, encourage and discourage. We can tell you what is wrong with your work, and what is right with it.
Even experienced and successful writers can profit from it, the study it entails can only improve anyone's work, but we can only teach you what not to do, and stimulate you to write. We can give you the tips and techniques that will be short cuts towards success. Your course saves you time by doing some of the background work for you.
This course teaches you the writing skills needed to get into print, from letters to the editor to full articles on travel or many other topics.
Tutor Support
With this course you will have unlimited access to your own personal tutor who specialises in their field of study. It is your personal tutor's role to ensure that you receive constructive feedback and to deal with any queries you may have. You are more than welcome to telephone, fax or email your personal tutor.
You will also have access to a dedicated and friendly team of administrators and course advisors who offer sound and professional guidance and advice when you need it. This ensures that you will never feel neglected and that you will always succeed!
Assessment Method
After each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking. This method of continual assessment ensures that your personal tutor can consistently monitor your progress and provide you with assistance throughout the duration of the course.
