All our courses are based on the plain business writing philosophy: packaging information plainly and simply so that the reader can understand it and act it on it.
Every one of our courses has been developed to promote plain language.
This is language that is clear, straightforward expression that only uses as many words as are necessary. It is language that avoids obscurity, inflated vocabulary and convoluted sentences. It is not baby talk, nor is it a simplified version of the English language (Robert Eagleson).
Our one-day flagship plain business writing workshop is run once a month in Johannesburg and Cape Town. It covers the five basic steps that form the basis of all further courses:

We also have two-day Writing and speaking well and Administration skills workshops that combine both written and oral communication skills.
