Course Content & Aims

Content:

Even with emails it is very important that business communications are well written and effective. A lot of written communication will be referred to many months after being written and not always viewed in the same context of what was happening at the time. However, what is written is what will be relied on as the evidence of what happened and what was said.

We write for a purpose and that which is written must be produced to achieve that purpose. This workshop will look at how your communications should be structured, the language to adopt and purpose of your document
