Ad Writing 101 is an online course taught by the wizard himself in a series of 12 streaming video sessions of approximately 9 to 12 minutes each. Each session is followed by a brief 10-question test requiring you to demonstrate comprehension. Multiple viewings are allowed, but only by the registered user. In other words, the person registered for the course can view a module more than once but “access sharing” is not allowed.
Once in a blue moon the wizard will teach these 12 sessions “live and in person” in Austin and include a series of short workshop sessions where you will be asked to demonstrate each of the skills you’ve just learned. Students who attend this 2-day course in Austin will be given access to the streaming video sessions at no charge. Likewise, persons taking the video course first will receive a discount on the in-person course should they choose to deepen their understanding in that manner.
Graduates of the online video course are considered full Wizard Academy graduates and are entitled to all the privileges associated with that status. (One benefit of Academy graduates is that they can take additional classes at half price.) Upon your completion of the quiz following session 12, you will be mailed an impressive graduation certificate and a gorgeous Wizard Academy lapel pin.
