Brand new Udemy course: How to write your Personal Statement

I’m super-excited to have launched this brand new course.

I’ve helped countless students with their personal statements through workshops, presentations and 1-2-1 sessions.

And I’ve developed this course to be the most practical step-by-step method yet for writing a fantastic statement.

Through the short course you will fully understand the requirements of this new Personal Statement structure, and you will be taken through a six-step process, from an initial brainstorm of content, through to the completion of your statement.

It’s comprehensive, so you’ll have all the information and guidance you need. But I’ve kept it short and concise, so through less than one hour of video you’ll be well on your way to finishing your statement!
