Effective Business Writing

The ability to communicate in writing clearly and effectively is increasingly important in a world where more and more messages compete for our attention. Most of us learned written English at school where the aims may have been different from our present needs. The emphasis of this course is on effective communication rather than grammatical correctness. In two days we cannot change the habits of a lifetime but there are simple ways of improving the readability of what we write.
