Business Writing for the Digital Era

Writing proper business-related documents in today's workplace requires a solid understanding of the fundamentals behind how specific documents should be approached, designed and edited.  Written communications in the workplace should be concise, yet thorough and well laid out.

This newly designed course teaches how to create business documents in the modern workplace, which takes into account the many forms that modern communication can take, and teaches participants how to best align their message with the appropriate documentation and device.

"Kirsten was a great trainer and having a class size of only three people for this course meant that we got good feedback and were able to easily discuss the outcomes that we each wanted from the course."

Morphum Environmental

 

"Great that it was only a small group - able to get more one-on-one than a larger group. Kirsten was great and kept checking in that we were understanding what she was saying. Nice venue - struggle a bit with windowless rooms, but was ok for the day. A lot of the information I knew, but was good to reinforce this, and to learn a few other things."
