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).

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.
