New business-writing courses in Birmingham and Manchester

By any measure, our High-impact business writing course in London has been a runaway success. For over 19 years, we’ve trained thousands of professionals in every sector and industry how to inform, impress and influence in everything they write.

But until now, anyone outside the Home Counties needed to travel a long distance to attend. That’s why we’ve just launched High-impact business writing in Birmingham and Manchester.

You can take this opportunity now by reserving your place. Our first date in Birmingham is on 7 November, and on 17 November in Manchester.

Why choose this course?

Most business-writing courses treat everyone the same: you come in and you learn the same techniques as everyone else. One size fits all.

By contrast, our High-impact business writing course is built around you. Before the course, the course trainer will take a sample of your writing and give you the results of our 15-point writing analysis:

This is the most comprehensive expert feedback on your writing available. You’ll learn about everything from the structure of your work to your use of the passive voice. And your trainer will know precisely what you write and what you need to improve before you even step into the training room.

This means that whatever you write – including reports, letters, emails, or any other document – you’ll make huge strides and improve more quickly than you would with any other course.

What will I learn?

We cover all the fundamentals of good professional writing – from brushing up on grammar and punctuation to helping you get your key messages up front. We’ll teach you how to avoid embarrassing errors and mistakes.

But we also help you impress with your writing. Good business-writing skills are sought after in almost every job: we’ll show you how to make your documents stand out from the crowd.
