| Advisor | Now, you can see on our website that we have a lot of course .... what are you interested in doing? |
| Caller | Well. I don't want to publish anything. I just want to raise the standard of my own writing. |
| Advisor | Yes, it depends on whether you want to, you know, write creatively or for fun. We also have fiction writing - that includes writing children's stories. |
| Caller | Well, I work in an advertising agency, so...I'd like to write better so that ..... well, I'd like my salary to rise. |
| Advisor | Ok, so we can send you our brochure for business writing and if you think it'll be right for you, then you can enrol. |
| Caller | Great. What happens after that? |
| Advisor | Then we send you the course pack. |
| Caller | What does that contain? |
| Advisor | You get some books that will help you with your writing skills, an audio course on CDs and instructional DVDs to watch, and some lesson texts to read. |
| Caller | OK. What if I change my mind? |
| Advisor | Well, you can send the materials back to us. You have 21 days to decide, and we'll refund your fees within that time. |
| Caller | Ah, that's quite good. I see. So the enrolment fee includes the course materials? |
| Advisor | Yes, it does - for all our courses. |
| Caller | So are there different fees for different courses? |
| Advisor | Yes, at the moment, your course is ... let me see. They've just raised the prices ... it was £340, but I think it's £375 now. Yes, fees rose a month ago. I'm afraid, um, by ten percent - most of our courses are now between three and four hundred pounds. |
| Caller | OK. That's not bad - so, who will teach me? |
| Advisor | Well, before we decide that, you do your first written assignment. It's like a personal profile. |
| Caller | So I write about things like my background and where I was brought up? |
| Advisor | No. It's the future we're interested in. |
| Caller | Oh, OK, so ... what I want to get from the course, and how it will help me to achieve my ambitions? |
| Advisor | That's right. We get a picture of who you are and your needs and then we match you to a personal tutor who will teach you and work with you. |
| Caller | That's a good idea. And how do I get that to you? |
| Advisor | Well, you send it in to us by post or through our website. |
| Caller | What about lessons? |
| Advisor | There are 15 lessons altogether, and each one has an assignment. |
| Caller | And what sort of feedback will I get? |
| Advisor | There's continuous online support, and part of that is a web-based facility for all the students on your programme to get together. |
| Caller | Oh, so we can share ideas and things? |
| Advisor | That's right. With no need to go into a classroom or be tied to weekly schedules. |
| Caller | OK. Thanks, I think that's all my questions. |
| Advisor | Don't hesitate to call if you have any more. |
| Caller | OK, thanks. Bye |
