Effective Writing

The course looks at a practical case study of a business report which needs drafting for presentation to the Board. Basic principles of good report writing will be discussed together with any house style of report format that your company uses. The course looks at the principles of effective business writing and how to ensure that your points are delivered in a clear and understandable manner.

Course content:

• How to select the most appropriate communication media in a variety of situations
• How to recognise and avoid the most common pitfalls in written communications
• A structured approach to preparing the content and layout of written communications emails, memos and letters

Our Commitment

We will take feedback from each delegate to enable you to track the business benefits of training. The feedback forms can include:

• The clarity, enthusiasm and ability of the Tutor
• If the course exceeded expectations
• Action plans and commitments to improve personal performance
• Relevance to the job

This will be immediately forwarded to each delegate and the Training Manager on completion of each course.

At Clearly Training we believe that to maximise the benefits of training there has to be a change in knowledge, behaviour, attitudes or actions as an output from training. Therefore we offer a “follow up” service to delegates. This can be a telephone conversation or email with the course tutor to discuss how successfully the delegate has been able to implement their actions that they committed to as a result of a course. These sessions offer the delegate the opportunity to discuss issues with an independent coach who can offer support and ongoing advice.

Training Materials

On all Clearly Training courses delegates will be given a ring binder containing a copy of the presentation materials together with any relevant exercises or examples.
