Business Writing
Very few of us are formally taught the skills of business writing. For most of us our first experience comes when we start work and we are suddenly expected to know how to communicate effectively by email in a business style.
For those people who were educated in the halcyon days when schools taught only ‘creative writing’ skills many of us missed out on learning the basic rules and structure of our language. This course is designed to quickly bring participants up to speed on grammar and punctuation in a memorable and practical way.
Aim:
The one day workshop is designed to give participants the tools and technical knowledge to ensure your organisation communicates effectively with all its contacts.
Objectives:
At the end of the workshop you will be able to:
- Decide when it is appropriate to write rather than speak
- Demonstrate a style that meets the needs and concerns of the reader
- Write clearly and concisely
- Set out a letters and emails in an acceptable business layout
- Apply appropriate structure to your letters and emails
- Explain how to proof read documents
- Describe the commonly misspelt and commonly confused words
- Use correct grammar in business communications
- Demonstrate the use of correct punctuation in business communications
What we can do?
We can adapt the programme to meet your company’s specific needs -or break it down into half day sessions covering just letter writing or email communications. We can also deliver grammar specials and Business Writing for ‘English as a Foreign Language’ students.
