Course Description
This one day live instructor-led Professional Business Writing training course offers effective strategies to sharpen your writing skills by structuring your ideas logically, exercising diplomacy in letters and reports, and shaping your arguments.

You must still develop your ideas, express them clearly, and persuade others of their viability.

With the Professional Business Writing training course, you will learn to analyze your audience, organize your writing, and employ effective persuasive techniques, so that your writing makes an impact.
