Course description
Writing Effective Policies and Procedures (Remote/Online)
Unclear policy and procedure documents can easily be misunderstood or misconstrued. When this happens, it can lead to inconsistencies, inefficiencies – even legal action or other serious consequences for the users of the documents, or the people affected by them.
But with clear, active and specific writing, every employee or stakeholder will know where they stand and how they should act in any professional situation.
On this practical and interactive CPD-accredited course, we’ll show you how to write accessible policies and procedures that mean the expertise within your organisation can be put into action.
Suitability - Who should attend?
Is this course right for me?
If you want to learn how to write (or review and amend) policies and procedures that are clear, succinct and effective, yes.
And because your place will include our unique pre-course writing analysis, you can be sure you’ll get exactly the help you need. Your course trainer will have a detailed understanding of your business-writing challenges before the training begins.
We’ve been running remote-learning programmes for over ten years, training over 6,000 people online and continually refining our approach in that time. So you can be confident that this course will be as engaging and effective as one run face to face.
