Who is this course for?
This course is a great fit for you or your organization if...
- You're a non-native speaker looking to increase your ability to communicate professionally in English.
- You're in charge of a group or division in your company and looking to improve non-native members of your team's communication and professionalism.
- You're an individual looking to improve your skills to get a raise, become more effective in your communication, or become more qualified for a new job.
- You've recently moved to a role where you need to write more technical or analytical reports and documents.
- You want to become better in English business writing, but you don't know strategies specific to your skill gaps.
- You need grammar and syntax instruction on how to naturally use the English language.
This course is probably not for someone with an elementary proficiency of English who is not looking to use English in a professional setting.
The most difficult part of professional communication is effectively writing for your audience and expressing complexity in an easy-to-understand way.
Business writing is an essential skill for every working professional. It is critical that you can communicate with individuals both inside and outside of your organization. Write to minimize confusion, avoid expensive mistakes, and evade 50-thread email chains.
The point is your company (and your job) depends on clear communication.
Yet, so many business professionals continue to make the same embarrassing mistakes and feel overwhelmed when synthesizing and communicating complex information to multiple audiences.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by reports, emails, meetings, and interruptions then there is probably a breakdown in your writing process.
Our students continually tell us that they didn't even realize the mistakes and missed opportunities they were making every day.
Imagine being able to quickly and effectively write communication, making it easy for colleagues, auditors, compliance, executives, or potential clients to understand your message.
Remember – the goal of this course is to teach you strategies to become a more strategic business writer. This means you will be able to present complex information clearly and correctly, regardless of the type of document and audience.
