About Us

High-impact business writing

People today are busier than ever. This means that documents and emails that effectively get their messages across have never been more crucial.

Overview

In this intensive, practical session, you will get a complete grounding in all areas of professional writing, whatever you typically write – whether that’s emails, management reports, customer letters, or any other document type.

On our in-house courses, we tailor the content using real-life examples of your documents so that all the materials are relevant for your sector, industry and the kinds of documents your team write.

A key feature of this course is that all attendees receive our unique pre-course writing analysis. This covers 15 different areas of writing skills and helps us ensure the training meets every attendee’s precise writing needs, allowing for rapid, targeted improvements.

Outcomes

By the end of the training, attendees will be able to:

  • set a clear objective – no waffle, just writing with purpose
  • write consistently in the organisation’s tone of voice
  • fix grammar and punctuation mistakes
  • keep readers reading with documents that are compelling and interesting
  • construct clear sentences and stop readers guessing the meaning
  • get their message across, with the key points up front.

Who's it for?

This course will help anyone who writes as part of their work – and that means pretty much everyone. If your aim is to improve your writing at work, this course is for you. Whatever you write and whatever your challenges, our unique pre-course writing analysis will ensure you get exactly the help you need. This means that the course trainer will have a detailed understanding of your business-writing challenges before the training begins.
