Poorly written documents are costly. And rightly so.

As a business professional, you are hardly ever writing to yourself; usually you are writing to your boss, client, colleagues, other stakeholders and so on. Little wonder there are those who tremble when they are told to do any form of writing; because for business writing the stakes are always high.

The business world depends upon certain standards of etiquette, and good business writing forms part of those standards. When you write clearly, you are showing others that you are professional.

On the other hand, people who write documents filled with mistakes, appear to you and I as careless, lacking attention to detail or even worse; not qualified for any form of professional engagement. There is nothing good about this.

This course is designed to help provide you with a set of guidelines and practical sessions that would greatly improve your appreciation of English language and its application in business communication.
