Business Writing - Price £250.00

Are you a businessman or woman who has not had much training or experience in writing?

Writing skills are essential for successful businesses. But the truth is, most businessmen and women write badly.

 

That's probably because they've never been trained. As a result, their writing gives a poor impression of their business. Just because you are a boss, a PA or a secretary doesn't mean you know how to write.

 

Our Business writing e-course will add that essential sparkle to your copy. It will make it stand out and easy to read. It will improve your business' internal and external communication.

 

On this course, we don't use 'bog standard' exercises. Your tutor will work with you on copy that you use in your job.

 

The course shows you how to improve your:

• Emails
• Web pages
• Letters
• Memos
• Proposals
• Reports
• Newsletters
• Brochures
• Press releases
