One of our most popular courses, this workshop is designed for anyone who needs to get the main point across clearly and quickly. Participants learn practical, immediately useful techniques that help them write from the readers’ point of view, organize information clearly and logically, and present a professional image of themselves and their organization.

Topics include:

  • How to think about your audience, purpose and main point
  • How to include all the information and organize it logically
  • How to use lists and other formatting techniques
  • How to use concise, active, specific language and plain English that communicates clearly and professionally.
  • How to avoid common grammar and punctuation problems

Our Approach:

To ensure that our training meets the participants’ needs, we customize the curriculum after assessing writing samples and reviewing objectives.

  • During training, we encourage active participation through discussion and practice.
  • Participants apply concepts and techniques by evaluating, editing, planning and drafting job-related documents with one-to-one feedback from the instructor.

As a two-day  course, this program has been approved for Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
