Will the course work for me if I am based outside of the US/UK/Canada?
Yes, absolutely! The copywriting principles you'll learn are the same regardless of location. So the information can be applied in other countries. We have many international students in the CCA. Since everything is self-paced, you create your own schedule and time zones are largely not a factor. Get more information about CCA for international students >> … [Read more...]
How long does it take to complete the CCA?
We've designed the CCA to be entirely self-paced. Could you sit down and watch the all of the Foundations modules for 8 hours a day? Sure! In that case, you could probably get through them in a few days. (That's not including over 22 bonus courses, of course.) But that's not necessarily the best way to actually retain the information and learn the skills involved in … [Read more...]
How is the CCA different from other copywriting courses?
First, we're based in real-world copywriting work and experience. As you've probably seen, there are a lot of courses out there focused on "online sales letters" and other things no one really does anymore. You'll never land a job or some freelance work with an ad agency with a portfolio full of online sales letters. :) Other courses also tend to make a lot of lofty … [Read more...]

In addition to our Head Copy Coach and specially trained Student Coaches, the group is filled with students who are learning right alongside you. It's a great place for receiving advice from people in various stages of … [Read more...]

The CCA will help you learn to write copy and then build your copywriting career as a freelancer, at an ad agency, or on staff as part of an in-house agency team. (See below for more information about what copywriting is.) The Freelance Success Framework (FSF) covers the fundamentals of being … [Read more...]
Will I need to purchase anything else?
You will need a computer with internet in order to take the course :) But after purchasing the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy (CCA), the only other cost you'll encounter is for your portfolio website. This is typically about $15/month for sites that we recommend like Wix or Squarespace. Other than that, you won't need to make any other software purchases to build your … [Read more...]
How do I know copywriting is right for me?
Copywriting isn't the perfect career for everyone. And really, *the* perfect career doesn't even exist. Not even the one perfect career for YOU. If you're asking this question, you might be thinking you have to be SURE it’s "right" or "perfect" in order to get something out of the CCA…and that’s just not the case. If you're committed to taking action, to taking a chance on … [Read more...]
