New training: Professional certificate for copywriters

Starting in November 2010, Schreibszene Schweiz/Texterausbildung.ch will offer a new part-time, two-semester training program for copywriters leading to a federal certificate.

Participants will be familiarized with several disciplines of writing, according to a press release from Schreibszene Schweiz. For example, advertising copy, PR language, journalistic texts and writing for the Internet. Creating concepts, editing written material, creativity and direct marketing are also part of this part-time course. Students gain an insight into media work and the production of print products and radio spots.
The writing scene course lasts 18.5 days, spread over one year. It concludes with an internal school examination and, from fall 2011, is expected to be followed by a specialist examination under the supervision of the Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology (OPET).
