Want to ensure that what you write reaches more people? Our Perth writing courses can help you reach this goal.
Read on to find out:
- why you need our business writing course
- what the benefits of business writing skills are
- where to take our business writing classes.
Why do I need a business writing course?
If you have a business in Australia, chances are about one quarter of your customers speak languages other than English. You may also do business with Aboriginal people who ‘speak Aboriginal languages or Aboriginal English as their first language rather than Standard Australian English.’
This doesn’t just apply to spoken language. Over the past decade in Perth, the number of people communicating using Auslan has increased. And Australia-wide, up to 20,000 people use Auslan to communicate.
These statistics mean that some of your customers may struggle to understand what you say or write to them. Even native English speakers may not easily understand your terms and conditions, billing information or care instructions. This might be due to disabilities or low literacy.
It wouldn’t be fair to leave so many of your customers in the dark! Our business writing courses teach you how to communicate clearly with all your customers, especially if you’re communicating about important topics such as social or health services, finances or legal obligations.
What are the benefits of business writing skills?
It may feel difficult to find the time to update your writing skills, but we promise it’s worth the effort. Our workshops help you add plain language to your communication toolkit.
Plain language ensures that what you write is so clear that people only need to read it once. It also ensures that the reader can easily find the information they need and understand and act on it.
The benefits start with making sure that your customers can understand you and go on to:
- save you money
- improve your reputation
- increase productivity.
For business writing, plain language just makes sense.
Where can I take business writing classes?
Whether you need help with terms and conditions, reports or newsletters, we have a workshop to suit your business.
Our Perth writing courses are available in person and online and cover:
