Written Business Communication

All organisations need to convey a first class professional image in every way to stay ahead of the competition.  As organisations become more communication driven, it is paramount that all pieces of written documentation are faultless.  Your professional reputation can be enhanced or ruined by the documentation that you write. It is essential that the style, content and message of your documentation is concise, correct and appropriate. You need to ensure that you get your message across. It is fundamental that the language used is simple plain English.

 

It is always important to consider the type of information that needs to go into the specific document we are producing.  We need to consider the reader and their requirements. This course provides a framework to assist in written communication.
