Who is the course for?
The course is aimed at anyone wanting to improve their written English skills and have the confidence to place their apostrophes in the right place.
By taking the course you will not only be improving your written English skills, you will also gain an accredited certificate to show current or future employers that you have attained a proficiency in written communications. The course also includes a section on applying for jobs making sure your covering letter and curriculum vitae have a fighting chance to get beyond the initial sift.
Accurate communication is very important for a business; a typo or spelling mistake can invite complaint letters, cause costly misunderstandings and even lose sales. So, there is very good reason why improving the standard of English is so important in organisations.
