The complete business writer
e-learning course
Writing has never been so important at work. Whether you're coordinating an event, persuading a client, reporting to the board or capturing a visitor's attention online, you need strong writing skills to do it. Learn at your own pace with short, engaging online sessions.
Overview
Writing has never been so important at work. Whether you have to coordinate an event by email, convince a client to hire you, report findings to the board, or capture a visitor’s attention with your website, you need strong writing skills to do it.
We’ve also never been busier at work, and many budgets have never had to stretch so far. If you want to train a group, it can be tough to find the time to get everyone to a full day’s course.
Even if you can, what happens afterwards? Without continual practice and support, the stresses and distractions of the working day can get in the way of new skills taking hold and becoming permanent.
That’s why we created The complete business writer.
This self-paced online course:
- brings together over 25 years of experience in business-writing training in a single training package
- benefits from input from our team of writing experts, including English language teachers, journalists, publishers, writers, editors, and even scientists
- explores a wide range of business-writing themes, including writing better emails, mastering plain English and tackling longer documents
- consists of 52 individual interactive and engaging lessons
- is relevant to all levels of seniority in an organisation, from CEOs and managers through to graduates and apprentices.
