Effective report writing

Overview

Reports are how businesses drive informed decision-making, problem-solving, and ultimately, business success. But, of course, poorly written reports are nothing more than evidence of wasted time – and can mean that your work is ignored and what needs to happen doesn’t happen.

The techniques we teach on this course will ensure your hard work and precious time never go to waste like this. We’ll arm you with strategies and skills that mean you can present your expertise, research and recommendations in the best possible light.

This CPD-accredited programme comprises 12 engaging lessons, filled with videos and interactive exercises.

It brings together over 25 years of experience in business-writing training. You’ll benefit from the input of our team of writing experts, including English language teachers, journalists, publishers, writers, editors, and even scientists.
