Introducing our six professional skills courses for 2026 and 2027
Career Planning
Two-week micro course - FREE
We can help you navigate the job hunt in just two weeks. Gain a deeper understanding of automated hiring processes, shifts in recruitment needs, how to write a polished resume, cover letter and develop interview-ready skills. You might even make a pitch for an unadvertised job.
Professional Writing
Six-week course - $400
Learn current methods for professional writing, editing and proofreading your work. You'll also be introduced to The Writer’s Process, a classic, proven method for effective planning and delivery of writing assignments. And you'll create documents that double as work samples for your portfolio.
Digital Writing
Six-week course - $400
Digital writing is now taught in higher ed due to the impact technology has had on today's workplace. The need for these skills stems from distinct styles, large audiences and the drive for high quality wordsmithing. Global tech sectors are leading these changes; this course explains and simplifies why.
Digital Marketing
Six-week course - $400
Learn how and why keywords deliver stronger results on search queries and the most recent findings on how we search online. Create pages that align with search behaviours and learn how to optimize your web pages, increase site traffic and convert visitors into satisfied customers.
Portfolio Website
Six-week course - $400
Make a strong first impression and validate your skills with a portfolio website, one of the most effective tools for securing employment. Plan and create your site using the template of your choice. Create a brand strategy, build content, load your assets and design your site your way.
Strategic Communications
Six-week course - $400
Strategic communication skills are an essential service in business and government. Communicators work with leaders, teams and consultants as problem-solvers who are diligent planners; they reach audiences across multiple channels, measure results and report back on their findings.
Answers to our three most often asked questions
Can I get feedback on my assignments?
Yes.
All courses come with assignments. You will receive assessment with feedback on your submitted work, which is done by a professional, experienced instructor. You can make revisions, if you wish, and resubmit. You can use assignments as work samples to show future employers. Contact us if you need help with a lesson or an assignment.
Can I keep my
learning resources?
Absolutely.
We encourage learners to download the handouts, tip sheets and textbooks in any of our courses. We use Open Educational Resources, so they are accessible to anyone wanting to learn. Checkout the BC/Yukon Open Textbook collection. Most of our texts are recent, published by Canadian universities and free.
Can I get a reference from the instructor?
You bet.
Email us with the details and we'll be happy to help you out. Consider that upon completion of any six-week course, and an 80% minimum score on the final test, you'll receive a certificate and an assessment letter from the instructor noting your completion and range of skills attained. That in itself is a great reference in writing!
What to expect from Kwriter Academy?

Up to four assignments are required per course and will be assessed with feedback. If you feel challenged, have questions or want input on your work, email us and we'll reply within 24 hrs. Meet with the instructor or reach out to our Support Ecosystem. We want you to succeed.
