Course objectives:

Analysing a sample of your writing allows us to identify the skills you need help with. We'll listen to your needs and the writing commitments you have. Then we'll show you how to make the most of good structure and plain English. As a result, you'll learn how to create documents that flow rather than bamboozle, that engage rather than frustrate and that get your message across first time.
