Now it’s time to put all that learning to the test in your final assignment! In this module, you’ll write a blog post based on a realistic brief – just like you would for a real client.

How This Module Works

This final module is all about bringing together everything you’ve learned. First, you’ll complete a mock assignment to get familiar with the process and build your confidence. Then, when you’re ready, you’ll choose one of two briefs and complete your real assignment. Once submitted, a tutor will grade your work and provide in-depth feedback, and you’ll have the option to schedule a one-on-one feedback call. Achieve a distinction grade to gain experience by writing three articles for the Knowadays blog with our publishing guarantee.
