Correspondence Courses
If you would prefer to carry out a correspondence course, where you submit and receive and assignments by post, we also offer the following correspondence courses. These distance learning courses allow you the flexibility of studying at home.
Your first lesson and assignments will be posted to you promptly, on receipt of payment. When you have completed your first assignment within a week, you can then send it to your tutor for correction. Your tutor will continue to post a lesson/assignment to you every week and will also give you feedback on your work. No previous writing experience is necessary, with the exception of our Advanced Creative Writing and Advanced Poetry courses. Each course facilitator will work with you to improve your writing at your own level.
If you have any further queries, you can check out our Frequently Asked Questions or email us at info@creativewriting.ie
Please also note our cancellation/refund policy.
