Description

1-DAY WORKSHOP

Business and report writing should be precise and succinct rather than creative; it stresses specificity and accuracy. Writing in a business environment requires writing with a unique purpose because you must assume that your audience has limited time in which to read it and is likely just to skim the document.

Your readers have an interest in what you say insofar as it affects their working world. They want to know the “bottom line”: the point you are making about a situation or problem and how they should respond.

Learn how to create business documents and reports that say what you mean and achieve the results you want. This course not only covers the basics of how to improve your writing skills but also how to achieve the right result from your written correspondence and business reports.

The purpose of this training course is to provide people with the skills to communicate accurately and effectively to their readers in business English.

Grasp the essential components of various types of reports and their formats. Delegates are shown how to plan, write and edit reports for use as executive decision-making tools, including validation in order to present credible reports for management evaluation.
