Writing Training

We provide training in all aspects of business writing. We make our programmes directly relevant to each separate group, to ensure people take away skills and techniques they can - and will - use when back at their desks.


"Thanks for providing such an interesting and useful course. Everyone seems to have found it beneficial and enjoyable."

Dr Shital Soma-Haddrick, AstraZeneca


The links below give you the core content for the sample topics listed. This content is modified for each group, to ensure their particular needs are met.

These programmes are only examples - if you're looking for training in other aspects of business writing, please let us know and we'll tell you what we can do.

Better Business Writing

Our Small Business Masterclass and Proposal Writing workshops focus on the needs of professional individuals and small businesses. We're happy to work with Chambers of Commerce and training bodies to support people from this sector.

Active Participation

Because people learn best when they are actively involved, we don't stand at the front of the room talking to a PowerPoint presentation. Instead, we provide detailed course manuals, linked to a mixture of discussion, activities and writing exercises.

Training to Meet Most Budgets

Whether you're looking for a one day course or a longer modular programme with detailed pre-course needs assessment and post-course support, we can help.

For a corporate group, we charge £900/£1,000 + VAT (depending on the topic) for a one day course for a group of up to 10, with £15 + VAT per person for delegate handbooks. Various levels of post-course support are available.

We give reductions for small businesses, and will work to meet voluntary sector budgets.

Please contact us to talk on the phone. We’ll discuss what your needs are and put together a detailed proposal telling you what we can do for what you are able to pay.
