How long do I have access for?
You have ongoing access to the course and all updates. Your access will last as long as Health Writer Hub is around (10 years and counting!). This means you can access all course materials for as long as you need to.
How often is the course material updated?
I review and update the course material throughout the year. Also, I survey all students after they have completed the course and their suggestions are incorporated. Additionally, I’m constantly keeping up to date with new industry trends and looking for the latest advice to include – helping to ensure the content is always as relevant and current as possible.
Can I still take the course if I’m American/ English/ Australian/ European?
This is a common question! I’ve designed my courses to be relevant for any English-speaking writer, anywhere. That’s why everything taught in this course is applicable at a global level. I’ve had students from 40+ countries take my courses: students from Australia, America, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and the UK take my courses.
Do you offer CPD points or accreditation?
All Health Writer Hub’s courses are approved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses. Independently accredited with the CPD Certification Service – one of the world’s leading independent CPD accreditation institutions, the courses meet the required standard of CPD at a global level.
The course learning value and structure conform to global CPD guidelines and principles, complementing the CPD policies of professional institutes and academic bodies. Read more about the CPD accreditation for our courses.
Is there really enough health writing work available for everyone?
If there wasn’t, I wouldn’t be teaching courses about health writing! Healthcare is a rapidly growing and evolving field. There really is so much writing work out there – regardless of whether you wish to write articles, blogs, handouts, submissions, academic papers, guidelines and more. Forging a successful freelance career involves investing time and energy into your marketing and professionalism – so you can give yourself the best opportunity of securing all the work that comes your way.
How will I avoid looking the same as all the other health writers out there?
My courses are designed to help you hone your uniqueness so that you can stand out and have a point of difference in the health writing niche. No two freelance health writing businesses should be the same as we are all on different health writing journeys – and I definitely don’t teach a cookie-cutter approach to freelancing!
Why health writing – what’s the difference between health writing and medical writing?
For some people, there is no difference – others tend to equate ‘health’ writing with consumer writing and ‘medical’ writing with academic and scientific writing. My courses are relevant for all styles of writing within the healthcare niche – with a focus on consumer health writing. I do not teach academic writing.
Why should I take your health writing courses when I can learn how to write online for free?
Believe it or not, this is a question I sometimes receive! It’s true you can find a lot of free writing advice online (and on my blog in particular). But here’s the difference. When you take one of my writing courses, you have my full support. You have your own teacher. And, that’s because I don’t feel I can teach you how to improve your writing skills unless you get feedback. I believe the three most important steps to take to improve your writing are reading, practice and feedback. You can (and should) do the first two on your own, but the third? That’s where I come in. And, that’s why ALL my courses include my feedback and support. When you take one of my courses, I spend a lot of time reading your tasks and giving you practical steps to help you become the best health writer you can be.
Why aren’t the lessons live?
People from all over the world take Health Writer Hub’s courses, so it’s very hard to find a time that suits everyone involved. The materials are ready for you to view at a time that suits you – enabling you to get the most out of your learning experience.
