English Copywriting Training | 3-Day Course (In-House or Online)
Are you a non-native English speaker, and do you want to improve your English copywriting skills? Native English speaker, Elizabeth Joss, offers an interactive 3-day English copywriting training tailormade to you and your organisation’s needs (online or in-person in the Benelux region).
Nowadays in the Netherlands (and beyond), more and more copywriters are required to have flawless written English skills. However, having a good written knowledge of the English language is simply not enough to be persuasive and to win over your audience.
Therefore, my English copywriting training course equips you with tangible English language skills, helping you become more aware of the potential problem areas in your writing. You’ll learn how to refine your English copywriting skills, avoid ‘Dunglish’ (if you’re a Dutch speaker), improve your use of prepositions (without translating them), and work on various other grammar points.
During the copywriting training, we examine copy within your industry and beyond (i.e. websites, mailers, UX copy, mobile copy etc.). Tangible examples are great sources of inspiration (but also caution!). So we’ll immerse ourselves in various real-life cases!
Lastly, you’ll have the opportunity to gain valuable individual feedback from me on your writing during all the sessions. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of their writing to the sessions for feedback.
