Make everything you write count
In this intensive, practical session, an expert trainer will show you how to produce effective business writing quickly, and get your documents to the top of the pile. You can apply the methods we teach to all areas of business: proposal writing, reports, letters and emails.
Work on your own business writing
The trainer will also analyse one of your documents before the course, to show you which particular skills to focus on if you want to make the biggest impact.
Like all our courses, this one is highly practical. Our ultimate aim is not just to demonstrate new techniques, but to make sure you can apply what you learn to your own writing. After all, whether it’s your business-proposal writing or your letter writing you are looking to improve, it’s the end business result that counts.

Confidential writing analysis and questionnaire
Our unique writing analysis will give you the confidence and focus you need to improve your writing efficiently and effectively. Because it focuses on no fewer than 15 specific business-writing skills, you'll discover your strengths as well as areas for improvement.
You'll also receive a questionnaire ahead of the day so you can let the trainer know exactly what you want to achieve. Taken together, these ensure that no delegate gets left behind and everyone benefits from training appropriate to their level.
We take your privacy seriously, so your results won't be shared with other delegates (unless you choose to do so yourself). And if you give us any sensitive documents to analyse, we will be happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
