Course outline

A company or organisation puts its reputation on the line every time it produces a written document, whether on paper or in electronic form. This course will show you how to edit and refine your organisation's documents so that they are well-structured, fit for their target audience and free from spelling, grammatical or factual errors. It examines common editing problems and shows how to overcome them with simple techniques and processes that everyone can use.

Who is it for?

Anyone who has to edit written material such as emails, newsletters, brochures, flyers, or reports, but who has had little or no editorial training.
