I approached the Global Certificate in Creative Writing course with a healthy dose of skepticism, but I'm pleased to say that it's been a worthwhile investment of my time and money. As a British student with a background in literature, I was looking to refresh my knowledge of creative writing techniques and gain some practical skills to enhance my own writing. The course materials were comprehensive and well-organized, with some excellent examples of contemporary writing to illustrate key concepts. I found the instructor's feedback to be detailed and constructive, and the online discussions with my fellow students were always engaging and thought-provoking. While some of the coursework felt a bit repetitive at times, I appreciated the opportunity to experiment with different writing styles and genres. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and feel that it's given me a good foundation for further development as a writer.

Oh my goodness, I'm so excited to share my experience with the Global Certificate in Creative Writing course! As an Egyptian student, I was a bit nervous about taking an online course in English, but the instructors and staff at Stanmore School of Business were incredibly supportive and made me feel right at home. The course content was amazing - I loved the way the modules were structured to take us on a journey from the basics of creative writing to more advanced techniques. The discussions with my fellow students were always lively and thought-provoking, and I appreciated the opportunity to get feedback on my work from people with different perspectives and backgrounds. I've learned so much about the craft of writing and have already started working on my own novel - thank you, Stanmore School of Business, for an unforgettable experience!
