When do the courses start?
Students can begin their courses at any time. Each course is designed to take about six months to complete, but these times are flexible. During these courses, each student will complete four essays, or four papers or reports, or four articles, to the highest standard possible.
How is tuition given?
Tuition is a two-way approach, where we provide instruction and supervision at each step of the writing process. Students submit their outline and we will guide them through the whole of the writing process. We will advise them of ways to improve their work to make it interesting and meaningful.
What notes will I receive?
On receipt of your payment, we will email you the notes for your chosen course (usually within 24 hours), and you can begin writing straight away. The notes are available as an e-book in PDF format, so you should be able to read them on any computer system. The notes are about 50 to 100 pages long, depending on the course you choose.
What do I receive on completion of my course?
Flairnet online writing courses are not yet accredited. Each course provides you with individual tuition designed to achieve better communication skills, stimulation and interest, and may provide you with the means to earn extra income.
After finishing your course, you should be able to show a portfolio of published work or will have achieved high marks in your essays. This carries a fair amount of weight when looking for jobs, approaching editors, and generally moving forward in the writing field.
And that's not all
Our help does not come to an end when you finish the course. Although we will have worked together on a number of articles, short stories or essays, if at any time in the future you need a little help, or support, or have difficulties, you are always encouraged to contact us so we can help you. We can be contacted by telephone or email.
