Effective Business Writing Course
Communication is of vital importance in an organisation. This communication can take many forms. In this course, we look at the written form, and how to get the maximum benefit from your business writing whether it is a short memo, a letter or a formal report. This will also help you with all your written communication including preparing assignments in your study programme.
The key to improving any written communication is practice, so you will find several writing exercises to complete. You should do these with care. However, in some of the activities you will be writing using the case study approach.
The skills you will learn in this course will also help you in everyday life - writing letters to your bank manager, or requesting information on a particular company product, or to complain about the accommodation on your dream holiday.
