Business Writing Boost is highly interactive with:

  • a self-paced format so you can study at a time that suits you best
  • comprehensive reference material that includes detailed theory and explanations
  • hands-on activities to master the content
  • short quizzes to check your learning and reinforce understanding
  • weekly check-ins with our expert trainer so you can ask questions and meet other participants.

Over 4 weeks, the course will help you upgrade your plain language skills. You’ll learn how to:

  • apply our self-editing framework to improve the macro and micro aspects of your writing
  • draw out and sharpen your persuasive content
  • use writing benchmarks to assess your structure and expression
  • re-energise your writing practice.

The course is for people who:

  • have completed our 2-day Baseline or 1-day Essentials training
  • want to refresh and extend their plain language writing skills
  • write a variety of business documents that persuade readers.

The first course runs from Monday 4 November to Friday 29 November. Weekly check-ins are every Friday at 12 pm (or Thursday if the Friday falls on a public holiday).

We’ll start with a kick-off session on Friday 1 November at 12–12.30 pm (AEDT). 

In 2025, we’ll be running courses starting in February. 

The course runs for just over 4 weeks. During this time, you’ll work at your own pace, with support from the trainer and other participants. 

To get through the course, you’ll need to commit around 2 hours a week, with an extra 30 minutes for the optional weekly check-ins.

Your access to the course materials ends after 3 months. 

 

The course costs $935 (including GST).
