Confidential writing analysis and questionnaire

Our unique writing analysis will give you the confidence and focus you need to improve your writing efficiently and effectively. Because it focuses on 15 specific business-writing skills, you’ll discover your strengths as well as areas for improvement.

You’ll also receive a questionnaire ahead of the day so you can let the trainer know exactly what you want to achieve. Taken together, these ensure that no delegate gets left behind and everyone benefits from training appropriate to their needs. We take your privacy seriously, so your results won’t be shared with other delegates. And if you give us any sensitive documents to analyse, we will be happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Expert trainers

All our trainers are experts in writing for business, with a background in industries where writing is the main focus. So they are well equipped to handle even the trickiest business-writing queries and offer practical advice. Each must go through rigorous selection and training processes, and pass a six-stage series of tests, before we consider them qualified to work for you.

Professionally bound course manual and helpline support

We won’t leave you high and dry after the course. Our professionally bound course manual will contain all your notes, as well as detailed summaries of our techniques for writing better documents. You’ll also receive a beautifully designed 62-page guide to better writing and have free helpline support for a year after the course – so whatever your question, you’ll always be within easy reach of an answer.

Attendees on this course range from chief executives to recent graduates, and come from every industry and sector. Whatever you write and whatever your challenges, our unique writing analysis will ensure you get exactly the help you need.
