Overview
Do you want to spend less time writing and editing documents? Would you like your readers to understand what you want first time? What sort of process do you use to produce a document quickly and easily? Transform your writing skills so that your documents can be read, understood and acted upon, and meet the requirements of your readers and your business.
The course is designed for people working in scientific organisations. Since the key concepts of effective writing are the same whether you are writing scientific and technical or business documents, the programme will suit staff in numerous roles. This programme will encourage you to build on your existing writing skills and learn techniques to make writing easier, more enjoyable and more readable.
Developing your writing skills takes time and practice, so we suggest that each learner enlists the support of a work place coach before starting the course. We will provide guidance for the coaches on their role.
This is a two day course.
