In the spirit of "competitive cooperation," The Christian PEN presents online courses taught by contributing members of the network. These courses are designed especially for editorial freelancers, to enhance their professional skills and boost their income.
Lessons are posted once a week, usually on Mondays; students view the lessons at their convenience. Some classes have optional "homework assignments" to which the instructor will respond with corrections and suggestions. Some courses are interactive, encouraging members to participate in online discussions. Other classes simply involve reading and studying the lessons.
