Business Writing Skills

All of my objectives were addressed with this course and I found it very useful. I will spend more time planning and therefore writing more efficiently. I felt the course had the right balance between theory and practical work and honestly can’t think of any way it could be improved. Excellent presenter who ensured that everyone participated in a comfortable manner. Orla Tighe, Fundraising Manager, Barnardos

I’ve already recommended this course to my colleagues at lunch time as this course breeds efficiency. The part of the course where we evaluated our own company material and critically assessed it in terms of writing style was crucially valuable. The course was engaging and interesting as were the materials and trainer. It was very valuable to use company specific and appropriate examples. KBC Bank

The course exceeded my expectations and met all of my learning objectives. Such a refreshing and enjoyable trainer. This is a great way to learn. I would absolutely recommend this course to my colleagues. A fantastic trainer with huge credibility, which is key. This is very professional, well presented, relevant training – well done!  Valerie O’Keefe, Head of Communications, Planning and Training. AIB Corporate Banking

The course was very clear, informative and enjoyable. The section on structuring, with an emphasis on brevity and plain language made a great impact on me. This course is essential to highlight the common mistakes made and the incorrect use of language. The Office of the Ombudsman

The course has given me great ideas for preparation, structure and editing of minutes. I now have a much better grasp of the type of language and grammar to be used in minutes. Thank you for the course – it was very helpful and informative. The Irish Sports Council

We ran a Business Writing Skills for Greater Impact course in-house for a number of our people who operate in different functions across the organisation – but all involved in writing to key stakeholders. Everyone benefitted greatly from an exceptionally strong and interactive course. The trainer made the course work not just interesting but also very relevant to everyone’s area – with all of the attendees remaining totally engaged for the entire day. She managed to pull the group together as one team despite the varying levels of competency in the room. Everyone later commented on the value of what they had learnt and on how they will apply this to their daily work. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who needs to learn either new business writing skills or as a valuable refresher. Danske Bank 

The course covered the essential points for me, especially punctuation and letter writing. Top marks for both overall quality and the delivery and expertise of the trainer. This course should be compulsory for everyone. It opened my eyes to seemingly obvious yet easily overlooked structures that should be used. The Office of the Ombudsman

Many thanks for the course yesterday. It was a great confidence building exercise for me as I am currently looking at areas of funding and writing proposals on behalf of Down Syndrome Ireland, and I can honestly say yesterday has made my daunting task a little easier. The course was extremely beneficial, and I will mention it to a number of friends. Please extend my thanks to the trainer for her wonderful presentation and assistance. Fundraising and Events Manager, Down Syndrome Ireland

My main objective was to learn to write more clearly. I can now see how better to avoid confusion – I didn’t realise how much jargon I use. I will focus more on my goal when writing a document in the future. Even though I had already done similar courses, after today I feel better able to plan, write, proofread and edit documents and mails. This course will have a strong impact on my work. Oracle

This course met my learning objectives. I was looking for a structure to approach editing and proofing work and it gave me this. The course will help me be more aware of my readers when I write. I would recommend this course for being clear, concise and to the point. I was very pleased. Eoin Purcell, Commissioning Editor, Mercier Press

This course helps us to write for the reader and better reach our goals as writers. This will help to standardise the quality and style of letters our organisation sends. The Office of the Ombudsman
