Report Writing

Report Writing Training

Our bespoke report writing training is designed for anyone who’s ever:

• Dreaded having to write a business report
• Agonised over what to say or how to say it
• Worried about how to structure a report
• Produced numerous drafts with little progress

Report Writing Skills

If these scenarios sound familiar, or you simply want to freshen up your business report writing skills, this is the training package for you.

In one highly interactive day we'll give you the strategies you need to remove the pain and hassle from your report writing.

Our unique workshop, Professional Report Writing Plus, addresses the most common challenges you're likely to face when drafting a business report. We'll show you the precise steps you need to plan and structure your report, and ensure its objectives are met in full.

Add Impact and Authority

At the same time we'll introduce you to some of the techniques professional copywriters use to add impact and authority to their writing.

These powerful tools can transform your business writing, yet amazingly, few report writers use them or have even heard of them.

We'll explain how these tools can give you a vital edge, helping you to write reports that are credible, accessible and businesslike. What's more, when you use them, you can be sure the documents you create will reflect well on you as their author.

Our Tailored Approach to Report Writing Training

Like all our courses, Professional Report Writing Plus is closely tailored to the needs of those attending.

Before the training, we speak to you about the kind of work you do, the types of document you write and where you feel your strengths and weaknesses as a writer lie.

Only when we fully understand your requirements will we finalise the course content.

Get Expert Feedback on your Writing

If you wish, send us a document you've drafted and we'll give you a detailed, professional critique of your writing. Our tutor will do this either during the workshop or afterwards by phone.

Remember, this service is provided as part of Professional Report Writing Plus - at no extra cost.

Needless to say, any material you send us will be treated in strictest confidence and used only to help you write better reports.

All the tools we give you on our one day report writing course are really easy to use.
