Grammar for Professionals
A survey of firms has shown that overcharging was seen as a less serious business-loser than missing an apostrophe. The survey calculated that poor writing skills could be costing offending firms £2bn in lost contracts*.
In addition, a wrongly placed comma can give the reader a different idea than the writer intended. This can cause numerous problems for those giving professional advice.
The solution is simple.
Grammar for Professional’s
Save the Red Ink
Most professionals, particularly those under 35, have had little or no formal training in grammar. “Grammar for Professional’s” corrects this with a lively and interactive look at the subject.
Our Guarantee
We will refund the cost of the course to any delegate whose writing skills have not improved on completion.
Benefits
By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:
- Identify the parts of speech in a sentence
- Punctuate text correctly
- Avoid common grammatical errors
- Compose professional documents
This course offers a number of benefits to companies.
- It saves time in managers correcting documents and requesting re-writes from their juniors.
- If documents are sent directly out without checking, it ensures that the grammar is fine.
The Course
The course consists of a 1-day workshop which covers the basics. A recent survey showed that punctuation was a key concern to companies.
Also a number of individuals expressed annoyance at some common mistakes, such as speakers who are unsure of whether to use “I” or “me” in a sentence and so use “myself” as a catch-all.
These issues are addressed in the course. The course content is:
- Why is Grammar Important?
- Parts of Speech
- Sentence Structure
- Punctuation
- Common Mistakes (inc. Me, Myself and I)
- Professional Writing
