Our Professional
Business Writing Course
equips you for
career success

Our one-day Professional Business Writing Course gives you the business writing skills you need for a successful career.

Packed with practical tips, the course covers everything from the basic rules of good business communication to powerful writing techniques employed by professional copywriters.

Impact and credibility
We'll show you the simple steps you can take to add impact and credibility to all your business writing, from the briefest email to the longest report.

Whether you're writing to persuade, to explain or simply to inform, this course supplies the tools and best practices that will ensure you achieve your goals.

Tailor made training
A key feature of the training is how closely we tailor it to your needs. We won't just tell you the principles of good business writing. We'll show you how those principles can be applied to the documents you write.

If you wish, bring along an example of something you have drafted, and we'll give you our constructive feedback. We'll celebrate its strengths, but also show you how to address any weaknesses.

What you learn
In one highly interactive day we'll teach you how to:

  • write documents that immediately connect with readers
  • create text that is clear and concise
  • write persuasively and with authority
  • communicate key messages effectively
  • hold the reader's attention throughout a document
  • make a winning case
  • make your text flow smoothly
  • restructure your documents to make them more readable
  • sidestep all the classic business writing mistakes.

We'll also give you clear guidance on how to:

  • plan and structure lengthy documents
  • adjust your writing for different audiences
  • convey bad or disappointing news sensitively
  • fix awkward sentences
  • use layout and typography to boost readability
  • speed up the writing process
  • avoid common grammar, punctuation and spelling traps.

What you gain
By the end of the course you'll have a clear understanding of how to apply the rules of good business writing to a variety of documents.

This includes: emails, proposals, business reports, business cases, customer letters, sales letters, employee notices, management briefings, case studies and product and service descriptions.

Best of all, you'll leave the course with a set of skills that will serve you well for the rest of your career.

Who should attend
Our Professional Business Writing Course is suitable for groups of two to eight people, although larger groups can be considered. It is also available as a one-to-one master class.

We particularly recommend it if you or your colleagues fall into any of these categories:

  • much of your working day is spent writing and you feel there is room for improvement
  • you have recently transferred to a job where you do more writing and you want to sharpen your business writing skills
  • your role as a business writer has changed and you are being asked to tackle unfamiliar writing tasks
  • you have never attended a formal business writing course and are keen to take your writing to the next level
  • your writing tends to have an academic tone and you would like to switch to a style more suited to the business world.
