Put It in Writing:

Good business-writing grabs the reader's attention and holds it.

But poor written communication damages the reputation of a business and can lead to lost sales, wasted time and a breakdown in communication.

This course will show you the techniques needed to write in a clear and persuasive way. You'll learn how to define the purpose of your writing, ensure key information is included and improve writing by fine tuning a first draft.

When you've completing this course, you'll have valuable new skills to help write more professional letters, emails, memos, reports, proposals and minutes.

This course will show you how to write so that you get a response from your reader. You'll follow Nisha as she coaches two of her colleagues who are trying to write a letter and an email. She explains the importance of working out the purpose of writing and how to plan the structure, content and tone to ensure they influence their readers.

Set in everyday surroundings, the performers act out realistic situations in an entertaining way that will help you recognise and correct some common errors. The familiar settings will help you to apply the material to your own workplace.

Before you begin the course, you'll take a short test to help identify any knowledge gaps. As you work through the course, you'll be presented with simple exercises to check your learning. At the end there is a 15 question quiz to help sum up what you have learned.
