Writing at Work

Our course Writing at work is a short course for highly educated people wanting to improve their writing skills. The maximum number of course participants is six. We will use the book 'Nota Bene' (ISBN 9789046900680), but exercises from the book can be changed to your needs (letters, e-mails, texts etc.).

At home the course participants will read the theory and do the excercises. Some of them can be checked at home; on other excercises the teacher will give comprehensive feedback (but only if send two days before the course day).

During the sessions the teacher will discuss the mistakes and problems the course participants are dealing with. The teacher will also answer your questions about the theory and/or offers you more excercises.

This course will be taught to a small group of employees from one company or institution. Our trainers will come to you, with a custom-made in-company training programme.
