One of our most popular courses, our Business Writing workshop is designed for anyone who needs to get a point across clearly and quickly.
In it, you’ll learn practical, immediately useful techniques. You’ll be able to write from the readers’ point of view, organize information clearly and logically, and present a professional image of yourself and your organization.
You’ll master these challenges and more:
- Thinking about your audience, purpose and main point
- Including all needed information, and organizing it logically
- Using lists and other formatting techniques
- Using concise, active, specific language and plain English that communicates clearly and professionally
- Avoiding common grammar and punctuation problems
Here’s our three-step training approach:
- We assess writing samples and review objectives to customize the curriculum for your organization.
- During training, we encourage active participation through discussion and practice.
- Participants apply concepts and techniques by evaluating, editing, planning, and drafting job-related documents. The instructor offers one-to-one feedback.
