Should I choose self-paced or instructor-led training for my team?

There are benefits to each delivery option of online self-paced, instructor-led virtual, and instructor-led onsite training!

Please read this detailed article about each option, and then let's talk about which is best for your team and budget.

Is it worth training my team?

Business writing training is an investment in your team that pays for itself in productivity gains alone. Additionally, more professional and correct writing elevates the perception of your team. Use our ROI Calculator to calculate the cost of poor writing and the savings from training. Many managers are surprised at the true cost of slow and ineffective writing.

How are online courses administered?

Each participant will get their own account to log in to our learning management system. Once logged in, they can access the materials 24/7 from any internet-connected device. Course progress is visually tracked through the platform.

Instructors are available for any questions and will provide detailed feedback on participant writing. 

Your team's progress can be viewed from our tracking portal so you can see participants' status at any time.

What are the benefits of training my team?
  1. Consistent and improved writing standards across a team or division.

  2. Employees spend less time on each document.

  3. Employee writing becomes an asset to the business and a career asset to the employee.

  4. Documents better elicit business objectives and increase productivity. 

Is instructor feedback included?

All of our courses, regardless of the delivery structure, include instructor feedback.

Self-paced courses innately include the most instructor feedback. Depending on the course, it will include detailed written feedback or a live coaching session. 

Instructor-led courses include many exercises and feedback opportunities and most group training includes individual feedback, also. This video clip will illustrate a group writing exercise in action in onsite training. Live, virtual training is similarly interactive using breakout rooms for small group or peer discussion. 

To truly improve writing, it's essential that your employees have the opportunity to write and receive individual feedback. This ensures they can demonstrate their skills instead of merely understanding concepts theoretically. 

With our award-winning instructor feedback, you will receive:

Objective feedback

  • Does the document have a clear purpose and business objective?

  • Is the document based fully on reader perspective?

  • Does the reader have all the content needed (and none that is not needed) to achieve the business objective of the document?

  • Is this information categorized well, or is there any "information dumping?"

  • Is it sequenced well? Did it open with the business objective? Was a buffer needed for this reader or this situation?

  • Grammar review, corrections, and correction resources.

  • Does the format support quick understanding for your reader?

Subjective feedback

  • Is your tone too blunt or too timid?

  • Are your word choices clear and strong?

  • Can you cut any unnecessary words?

  • Are there any grammar errors?

  • Your instructor will recommend resources and make corrections for you.

  • This provides both measurements and feedback so you can hone in on the writing issues that will most improve the impact of your business writing.

Individual feedback can be added to any virtual or onsite training as well.
