About this Course
The ability to present information succinctly and in a concise form is instrumental in this current dynamic business world of information. A report is essentially a sales document, if not presented or communicated correctly it can and will lose its intended message, thus possibly hindering or misleading decision-makers.
The course is structured such that participants will learn to proofread and vet common writing errors and to convincingly share these ideas with their peers. At the same time, participants will be able to understand the characteristics of reports and ensure that their writing is suitable for the format.
