Our public courses

We have developed these courses especially for today's overworked business writers. By 'business writers' we mean anyone who has to write emails, letters, memos, reports, booklets, leaflets or any other kind of document. Whatever their level in an organisation, delegates will find the course challenging and stimulating.

We run the courses in hotels and other conference venues. They are an ideal way to train one of your people or a small team.

What will you learn on the course?

Here are just some of the valuable benefits you will gain. You will learn how to:

  • write with clarity and style, so that your message strikes home every time
  • blow away those bureaucratic cobwebs by writing concisely and in everyday language
  • use words like 'you', 'we' and 'I' to make your writing more personal and direct
  • control your sentences so that they are compact and powerful
  • write 'actively' rather than 'passively'
  • avoid 'writer's block' by using a simple, foolproof technique
  • use 'bullet lists' like this one to get key information across quickly

. . . and much, much more.
