Travel Blogging Certificate
PROGRAM
How do you say travel blogger in Swahili? It's a good question, but not one you're likely to get an answer for in this Certificate Program. What you will get, however, is a solid introduction to the basics of writing for social media and an in-depth understanding of travel writing, specifically in the blog form. You'll also get loads of opportunity to hone your writing skills. Successful completion of our two specialized classes—Travel Writing and Intro to Blogging—will earn you a Certificate in Travel Blogging. And that'll give you more cred as a travel writer than a passport full of foreign-entry stamps.
