Open courses
Open writing-skills courses are a great way to train only one or two people, or to sample our training before bringing it in-house. We run courses every month in central London.
If you're looking for in-company business-writing courses instead, click here.
Pre-course writing analysis
Once you've booked an open course, we'll ask you to send in a sample of your writing for one of our business-writing experts to analyse. Everyone has their own style: we’ll produce a graph to show you what yours looks like, and which areas of your writing you most need to concentrate on.
Training day and beyond
On the day itself you’ll work on your own writing as well as on targeted exercises. We keep the training groups small, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. And we'll also enrol you on our continuous learning scheme, which comprises:
- free telephone and email support for ad-hoc queries, for a year after the course
- access to our advice forum, Write Here, where we’ll sort out any niggling queries
- access to our writing skills blog, Write Now
- access to our business writing podcast, Write On
- our regular tips e-bulletin, Write Away, to keep up to date with business-writing news, opinions and features.
Optional post-course analysis
As an optional extra, we can analyse a second writing sample after the course, to check that you are applying what you've learnt. We can also write a brief action summary to let you know where you should now concentrate your efforts.
Where?
We run open courses at our central London training venue, the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).
