Company Courses

Most courses are tailored and delivered on clients’ premises. Setting one up couldn’t be simpler.

In-company business writing courses

We all write, but not necessarily as well as we could. Emphasis business writing courses will ensure your documents are outstanding for the right reasons – whatever your level, whatever your needs.

Our specialist trainers have the breadth of knowledge to tackle any area of business writing, from advanced technical writing courses to punctuation and grammar refresher sessions; news writing workshops to bid writing advice; handling complaint letters to a dedicated web writing course. UK based, but passports at the ready, Emphasis can come to you wherever you are.

Tailored writing skills courses

The courses opposite should give you a flavour of what we offer, but we’ll always design your writing training course to match your organisation’s needs.
