Essential grammar and punctuation (open)
Should you write ‘the company is’ or the ‘company are’? What's the difference between ‘which’ and ‘that’? How exactly do you use a semicolon? When do you need a hyphen? Can you start a sentence with ‘but’?
If you’ve ever asked yourself any of these questions, an Emphasis grammar and punctuation course will sort you out.
Giving you answers
A huge number of people worry about these ‘nuts and bolts’ of language and it’s easy to get bogged down. Grammar and punctuation training will boost your confidence, clear up any confusion and help you get to grips with a subject that may well have passed you by at school.
Our grammar-training specialists recognise that you have probably forgotten most of what you learnt. But after getting a clear sense of the basics of grammar for writing, you may even begin to find the nitty-gritty of the English language fascinating.

- show how to use punctuation correctly
