As an industry outsider, it was a good insight into a different workplace.

The tutor was excellent, encouraging and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the simplicity of the resources combined with clear examples.

I now have some knowledge of how to make online resources more appealing to students.

Carli came across as really experienced and passionate about UX writing. She taught with ease and made the interactions fun and engaging.

The course content covered all crucial points and the tutor did not hover over obvious topics - she knew what needed attention and what could be quickly talked over.

Reaffirms most of my learnings through my work with content and other UX writers.

I think Carli is brilliant and insightful, and does her best to keep participants engaged.

There were some concepts I'm already familiar with, mainly user groups and user journeys. On the other hand I did also learn additional concepts to be mindful of when practicing UX/UI design and writing, particularly tone of voice and text digestion.

Laying out the rule of thumbs in navigational text is something I didn't really consider while doing my work. This will undoubtedly change how I design my navigation elements.

If you want to get started in writing, this organisation is worth checking out.

This course covered exactly what I was hoping/expecting/needing it to. Carli was very knowledgeable and laid out the material in a logical and functional way.

I enjoyed learning the basics of what UX writing is, and how I can use this skill in the future.

The course covered all the aspects I expected it to, the delivery was professional and convenient (from home!) and I learned what I had hoped to.

I thought Carli was an excellent tutor who explained all the concepts very clearly and was approachable whenever I had a question.

It has given me enough of an idea about this type of writing to determine if it is something I might want to pursue should a work opportunity in this space arise. I found it very interesting.

The course was very interactive which was great as it was very valuable to listen to input from other attendees on the course.

Having completed a few courses with the AWC, I would highly recommend the AWC to someone who was interested in exploring the area of writing as the courses, tutors and community at AWC are excellent.

Carli was relatable, with a ton of skills, knowledge and experience that she was only too willing to share with all of us. Engaged well with participants and encouraged participation throughout the day.

I enjoyed listening to the experiences and challenges from other participants. It was great to have a range of skills and experience that could be shared throughout the day. The willingness of participants to share their knowledge and put forward helpful suggestions/solutions. Best practice tips - really helpful.

AWC have tutors who are truly subject matter experts and have an amazing depth and breadth of knowledge, skills and experience. They have a generosity of spirit to pass on all that they know so that students can excel and be confident. Encouraging and supportive values.

The tutor was great! Very interesting and engaging and had great examples to share.

The course was well-structured, interesting and very relevant. Great to learn about best practice so I can use in my everyday work life.

Carli was great. She had great real-life scenarios that were invaluable to hear about.

As I have previously completed Copywriting and SEO Copywriting, this was the perfect way to round out my skill set to create a better user experience and hopefully increase customers.

This course is the perfect way to learn a new skill set to create a better user experience on a website.

I was entirely unfamiliar with UX, but was in the process of building a website for my business. I wanted to learn how to make my website a great experience for my readers / visitors.

Because I had never seen the term 'UX Writing' before, I was concerned that I might be out of place in the course or not gain / understand much. However, I had a fabulous day and learned a great deal from Carli and the cohort, many of whom were content designers from top firms on that particular day. Lucky me!

Carli was absolutely superb in level of knowledge and also facilitating a live online classroom. Excellent experience.

I found the examples of user journeys through different sites very helpful, and I also especially liked the exercises on tone of voice and the various dimensions of tone of voice. I learned completely new information which I will implement in the design of my two websites straight away.

I have taken many courses though AWC. You will not find greater value for time, money, or quality of instruction than these courses. They consistently exceed expectations in every subject. Thank you, AWC.

Great day, most enjoyed and most appreciated!

I was so impressed by Carli. Her knowledge and experience really shone throughout the course, and she made all of us feel so comfortable and respected. She would actually be one of the best tutors I've had, alongside Bernadette.

I really enjoyed Carli's passion, knowledge and her unwavering engagement with all of us. She genuinely listened to each of us when we explained what our current roles were and what we hoped to achieve from the course and referred back to all of us individually throughout the session. She really is a fantastic and charismatic tutor.

The AWC is a very professionally run organisation with exceptional tutors - definitely worth the time and money.

This course has given me a solid foundation for understanding the ever-evolving world of UX writing.

Carli was great - inclusive, approachable, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Plus, she knows her stuff and gave us lots of real examples, and talked through them clearly.

I enjoyed being able to apply the things I learned today to my own business website. I have a whole new perspective of how my website content could - SHOULD - be written!

The AWC is always a great choice for personal and professional development if you love writing of any kind!

Paula 2 years ago

Great content. Very relevant material and extremely knowledgeable presenter.

Carli's experience in the field was why I was so keen to undertake this UX writing training. She was fabulous! Carli is the holy grail for all things UX Writing - no wonder she is in such high-demand.

The AWC continues to deliver relevant, market-ready short writing courses that provide its students with brilliant job-ready writing tools.

Keep up the great work, AWC!

It was great learning about best practices in UX writing. The information shared in the course was pragmatic and readily applicable for anyone moving into UX writing.

The presenter was great and offered very practical advice on UX writing. The insights provided on stakeholder management were very insightful.

The whole course provided me with new information and skills that I can keep in my writing toolbox. It has provided me with more options and hopes as I look to segue out of teaching.

Paula 2 years ago

Carli was fantastic - engaging and approachable. I enjoyed her insights and how she made the material relevant and interesting.

It's given me the confidence to think of stepping out and freelancing.

The UX Writing course was a great boost to my confidence. It taught me new ideas and approaches, as well as reinforcing existing knowledge and reassuring me that I can do this!

Carli was absolutely lovely and very generous with her time, her knowledge and her experience. She was very clear in her presentation and happy to answer any questions. I would happily sign up for other courses run by Carli.

I enjoyed hearing examples of UX writing in action - or how it might be put into action - both from Carli and other participants.

AWC offers a great range of writing courses that are both practical and enjoyable. Their courses are well-worth carving out a little corner of each day for!

Thank you and keep the great courses coming!

I enjoyed the depth of information shared and interacting with the tutor and other participants. It has already helped me to redesign my own website, which should go live in the next few weeks.

UX Writing is an excellent course for anyone interested in learning best practices for website design.

Carli was a great tutor! She quickly established rapport with each of us and effectively tailored information to our specific situations throughout her teachings. She answered all questions with ease, and was friendly and professional.

I loved the nitty gritty session on Thursday. It was great to get some clear guidelines for best web practice. I also appreciated Carli's insider tips around freelance rates.

I am able to confidently tackle my work project, understanding and practicing best practice when it comes to website management and accessibility. I also feel better equipped to continue my career in writing with a very important skillset added to my toolkit!

I would highly recommend this short training for a crash course in web practice and accessibility. Learning from the vast experience of both my tutor, Carli, and the other students, was a really great experience. The online format of the training fit perfectly with my work schedule and I have left with great knowledge and confidence in how to execute best web practice!

Thanks to Carli and the AWC team!

The tutor was very knowledgeable and made the course engaging with stories and examples in practice. Not too much "cognitive overload!".

Made me realise I know more than I thought I did, the work I've done to date is on track (and pointed out things I can go back and improve) and that I should own the fact that I can call myself a UX copywriter.

The work I've done to date with copy for websites and the app I've developed put me at an experience advantage that I should promote with more confidence.

Amanda Bolch 3 years ago

I found Carli to be engaging and enjoyed both sessions, which went by very quickly.

It was a great introductory overview to UX writing, touching on many points that are a bit of a blur at the moment (cognitive overload - what an important principle to be aware of). However, the resources we have been left with will be invaluable in enabling me to utilise what I have learned to greatly improve my online writing.

Cost effective courses from people working in the field who genuinely understand the realities that you may be experiencing.

Carli is a generous presenter. I like that she encouraged and utilised the expertise of others in our group to help each of us with our individual projects. I appreciated Carli taking the time to talk about fee structure, add ons and time management. For someone like me who is new to the industry it really helped.

The course covered a lot of ground and had a practical focus. We were equipped with knowledge right from the get go that was useful, best practice and relatable.

I see the pathway forward for me. Writing and design come together in one space. I love the technical, but my strength is fine tuning what it says, how it looks and how it's used. Before I did this course, I couldn't work out how to go forward in the digital space and where to find the information. Now I feel empowered to motor on ahead. Step one: give my author platform and socials an overdue tune up.

Go in with an open mind. Be willing to try a few courses until you find your path. There are takeaway nuggets of gold in every course and presentation.
