About The Writers Bureau

The Writers Bureau was formed to provide a practical resource that would help people through their writing apprenticeship. The vision was to create a course that anyone – regardless of age or educational background – could benefit from.

In January 1989 we opened our doors and quickly became popular with those seeking to learn the secrets of success in the publishing world.

Since then we have expanded our course range and now offer a variety of specialist writing courses as well as our Comprehensive Creative Writing course. So, whatever your writing ambitions we should have a course for you.

The Writers Bureau is Accredited by The Open and Distance Learning Quality Council.

The Writers Bureau has been granted accreditation by the Open and Distance Learning Quality Council (formerly the CACC), which was set up in 1969 as an independent body with the co-operation of the Secretary of State for Education. The ODLQC is established for the public benefit to promote lifelong learning and in particular to raise standards within distance education. It does this by awarding, where appropriate, the status of accreditation in recognition that the activities of a particular college conform to such standards. The accreditation process includes a rigorous assessment, by independent experts, of a college's administration, tutorial support, educational materials and publicity, to ensure that they meet the standards set by the Council. Accredited colleges are monitored by the Council to ensure that students continue to receive good service, and are assessed for re-accreditation at intervals of not more than three years.
