Course description
Those wishing to assess and add to their business writing skills will find this course a confidence builder.

They will identify the characteristics of effective communication and learn how to successfully critique business documents.
A repeatable writing process and strategic planning guides for specific applications will be introduced and practised through learning activities. Peer support and feedback will be emphasized.
Business communication formats covered will include letters, memos, business proposals and email.
