Business writing

Back to basics

For those people who feel they'd like a refresher on the basics of good writing: spelling, punctuation and grammar, and common pitfalls. This half-day course combines learning why it's important to follow the rules with practical exercises.

Emails: Your message remembered

We all fire off hundreds of emails to friends, colleagues and customers without stopping to think how they are received. How do you make yours catch the busy reader's eye? Can they actually have a negative effect on how the reader perceives you and your business? How many paragraphs should an email be? What sort of language can I get away with? Are there etiquette rules I should follow? This half-day course answers all your email questions.

Better business writing

Do you dread having to write about your business? Do you struggle to find the right words to get your message across? Do you find you've used 20 words where one would do? You're not alone. So do many others.

This jam-packed, one-day course is essential for those who need to write as part of their job. Whether it's marketing letters, reports, press releases or newsletters, you need to know how to give your words impact.

How to get your business in the news

PR is a relatively inexpensive form of publicity. For the public, reading about your business in a newspaper article carries more influence than an advertisement. But if you're not a PR professional and yet need to get your business in the news, where do you start? This one-day course covers what the media is looking for from a news or feature story. It shows you how to write a press release and ways to make your press releases stand out.
