Plain English Foundation

Training

Today’s readers and writers are short on time, overloaded with content and ready to be distracted. 

That means it’s more important than ever that communications are clear and succinct so that your readers can quickly and easily grasp your message and understand your intentions.  

Our plain English training courses offer:

  • foolproof tools and techniques to make you a better writer
  • a methodical approach that guides your learning
  • the opportunity to practise your new skills and trial new methods
  • expert feedback and advice from our experienced instructors.
