Onsite Workshops
Our onsite training is designed for 15 to 20 participants. Small classes encourage lively discussions and allow personal feedback from peers and instructor. In developing onsite programs, we use a streamline assessment process to identify participant writing needs, company training objectives, and appropriate training approach. Based on our assessment, we develop course content (document samples, writing exercises, and case studies) that is relevant to your business activities and training objectives.
Team-Focused Training
Team-focused training allows you to train an entire department in any of the writing topic areas.
Advantages:
* Members all learn the same writing principles, giving them a common vocabulary for discussing writing and revising department documents.
* The supportive learning environment fosters cooperation and encourages
* discussion on department writing issues and problems. Writing tasks-from planning to the final edit—can be standardized.
* Members can discuss and pose solutions for department writing requirements and review processes.
Self-Paced Training
Our self-paced programs allow you to work at your own pace, anytime and anywhere. Once you select the program that meets your immediate need, you will receive a comprehensive workbook (wirebound or CD). Our workbook material includes step-by-step assignments taking you through a series of writing exercises, followed by document samples, writing tips, and writer resources. Each program includes slide presentations to guide you through the assignment concept, writing exercise, and assessment review.
