Business Writing Course

Duration: 1 day

Introduction

Writing in general is fast becoming a lost art. However in business, people still need to write, whether it is a email or a proposal, it needs to be in printed form as well. In the business respect, anything formally written, needs to be concise, clear and professional. Our business writing course aims to give participants an extra edge when it comes to writing and we will discuss topics such as grammar and punctuation. The second part of the course covers proposal writing, a professional looking proposal will go far to establishing credibility and getting job approval.

Course Outline:

We live in an age where technology becomes old every decade  if not sooner. We do not write, we text or email, we send voice messages and videos and we Skype. Technology is a double edged sword when it comes to putting things down in writing. Sadly, we are slowly losing what is truly an art form  the art of writing. As much as we have progressed with technology, nothing beats a well written resume, or a well written proposal. In the business world developing writing skills is still important since we do still create paper documents. The business writing workshop aims to give you that extra edge in the workplace. It is very much like financial skills, you already have the tools, you just need to know how to use them, so don’t feel intimidated by this course, you have the skills, let us show you how to use them to gain the edge.

We will begin by refreshing your skills by going over the basic concepts of writing, including grammar and punctuation. We move on to creating a cheat sheet. This is very effective when you need a quick reference to correct grammar or even spelling. Different people need different cheats so we will look at the most common cheats and some that are relevant to you personally. I before E except after C is a well known cheat.
