Which short course helped you get hired? - what worked for you?

I am considering a short certificate to improve my chances as a copywriter. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I would like to use funding if possible.

A hands-on course with a project helped more than a purely online one.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
