“I wanted to add "The Art of Influence" by Evy P to my resume, but it feels less credible having no certificate. Now that I completed it...it feels disappointing. I already learnt a good chunk of this from that sketchy book 48 Laws of Power. She's beautiful and not weird like that author though I'll give her that. I do feel she could've given us more though. I would have paid $100 instead of $69 for the certificate. Thats what I am stuck on.. Am I supposed to teach my future daughter how to get to the top of Abby lee's dance pyramid with this? My daughter belongs on reality televison. I am smart whats being taught i can find on Youtube and Tik Tok now. A certificate would have been nice something i can print on my wall and say I did that for my 2027 reflection.
This is supposed to be a serious topic and there is encouragement to only use these steps to be genuine. If that is warrented to say throughout this course then its serious enough for a valid credible certificate. Im not a Karen. I just want my furture daughter.. Shawndra Tallahassie to be geared up for reality and be hella rich on tv.

“Dear BBC Maestro team,
I hope you all are well after a turbulent world during the pandemic period.
I am a writer working in a place near the mountains and trees!
I thank the BBC Maestro for offering the course with the writer Isabel Allend, who transformed the suffering of human existentce into art!
Love to Isabel Allend and everyone involved in making this Project a reality.

“Informative, engaging, interesting and relevant topics to expand minds of all ages and levels of education. I received a surprise membership as a Christmas gift and I am truly enjoying every episode. I can't wait to see what more is in store for me! As an author, I'm always looking to further my knowledge and learn new things to help me build my craft. Thank you BBC Maestro!”
“I am so impressed with the Julia Donaldson lessons on writing picture books for children! I am just at the start, but am already opening my eyes to new ideas. She is so warm and encouraging and definitely inspiring. With all the people offering expensive courses, I am so glad that I chose the BBC maestro!”
“Only watched one expert so far on the subject that I wanted help with. Having heard anything I didn't previously know through online courses or self help books costing far less. And I subscribed with a hefty discount over the new year. Nicely filmed, though.”

“I’m taking the Jojo Moyes class. I’m a published author but I love to learn. Her delivery of the information is outstanding. She speaks like we were in a class. It is so informative and I’ve learned so much,”
“I’ve been a fan of Marina Abramović for over 15 years, and I’m so happy! I’m Brazilian and I love that she created a course you can put into practice immediately, to live more in the present instead of just learning content. The classes are excellent—I want more from BBC!”
“Interesting insight in leading event florist work. Would love to have information on proportions and shape/ what is suited where. Love the wild look and over the top extravagant style, inspiring color schemes. Good inspiration.”
“BBC Maestro has quietly become one of the most meaningful creative tools in my life.
I don’t have access to elite literary circles or the ability to learn directly from world-class writers in real life. What BBC Maestro offers instead is something arguably more powerful: a front-row seat to how a brilliant mind approaches the work.
The experience feels intimate without ever being intrusive—focused on craft, process, and intellectual generosity. It’s rare to feel this close to excellence while still being challenged to do the work yourself.
This platform honors both the teachers and the learners. It proves that talent can be nurtured anywhere, when the teaching is this thoughtful. Thank you for offering this incredible class and I hope to create something a fraction as incredible as Mr. Follett’s work!”
“I did the Harlen Coben Masterclass and it was fabulous. He seemed truly engaged and pleased to be sharing his expertise. He was well organized - the order of lectures made sense. I learnd a lot and came away quite inspired to continue writing. He was also very entertaining and fun to just sit and listen to him telling his story and how he goes about his craft.”
“BBCMaestro was recommended to me by a family member. I was very interested when I saw the list of writers you had. After listening to a few I was sold and signed up!
It is well worth while to anyone who writes or wants to novels or any story.
Well done!!”
