Business Writing Skills
In this one-day short course, you’ll learn how to improve your business writing skills and get your message across with ease, speed, precision and clarity.
Writing in the workplace is now ubiquitous and is an unavoidable part of professional life. From constant emails, to high-profile presentations, reports, business plans, cases or proposals and social media, our written content is a direct reflection on us.
It’s important to write correctly, as well as express ourselves with clarity and efficiency to achieve the desired outcomes.
Many professionals need assistance to plan their documentations, organise their thoughts, choose the right tone, and cut the ‘waffle’. This communication short course will present you with the tools for effective business writing.

Any professional who wants to improve their writing in the workplace. This includes reports, presentations, documents, business cases, emails and other correspondence.

“[The facilitator] was extremely engaging, she has a great energy to her and did a great job at engaging the cohort. I enjoyed using a range of platforms to engage with each other through visual, verbal, and written formats as it helped to create an engaging experience. I not only learnt new skills but also built upon my existing ones. The entire experience was extremely well organised. Studying in the Live Online format with other learning peers helped create an engaging experience where we could all interact and learn from each other.”
