Tutor's comment:

The course is essentially very realistic and contemporary. It is a relaxed class that covers a lot of ground and is designed to make your business corporate writing stand out in a crowd. It guides delegates on how to find and write vital information in the best style and deliver it to the correct reader. In class we write documents such as mission statements, press releases, USPs and corporate documents for external, in-house, web and blog use. We also discuss, do interviews and test examples of writing styles among delegates.
