I took the ESP certificate to boost my ability to write marketing copy for the UK tourism sector, and it totally delivered. The practical workshops on persuasive language gave me hands‑on practice, and I walked away with a set of ready‑made headline formulas that have already increased click‑through rates for my campaigns. The course materials were well‑organised, with lots of real‑world examples that felt directly applicable. It was a friendly, relaxed environment, and I left feeling equipped and motivated to keep improving my specialist writing.
