“The material was excellently presented. You didn’t feel overwhelmed by it, but you soon realized that those bite-sized chunks of information were quickly adding up. I learned a lot and will be going through the course again to pick up any crumbs I may have missed. And then one more time for an in-depth review. Jakki is great!

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS COURSE?
This business writing course is from a professional trainer and copywriter with an MBA and a strong business background. So you can be sure that you’ll learn proven techniques from someone who writes and trains for a living. All the examples, case studies and exercises use real-life business documents – reports, emails, web copy and so on. Everything you learn is proven to work in today’s dynamic business environment.
I’m Jakki, your tutor. My first career was as a marketing executive at a global publisher, The Readers Digest Association. Today, I write and deliver courses and workshops for clients like The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), The Forestry Commission and The Centre for Strategy and Communication, among others.
I’m also a freelance copywriter who writes business documents, proposals and web copy for corporates, non-profits and small businesses. If you’re an aspiring copywriter, the skills you learn on this course will help you break into the lucrative business writing market.
I’ve included loads of written practice exercises and real-life worked examples as well as video tutorials and demonstrations. These are tried, tested and honed over years of working with corporate clients. So they’re highly effective. You’ll find:
-
19 bite-sized, focused video tutorials.
-
Supported by 3 downloadable handbooks containing notes, examples, checklists and other reference material.
-
16 worksheets for you to practise the skills you’ve learned, with suggested answers for comparison.
-
6 quick quizzes,one at the beginning and end of each section to help you target your learning and measure your progress.
Another important aspect of this course is that it is structured for flexibility, saving you time by focusing on what you need to know, when you need to know it.
Part 1 – everything you need to know about approaching and planning your writing project to save writing time and effort
Part 2 – tune up your writing style and write clear, concise and engaging content for any audience
Part 3 – polish your work to a professional standard and find hidden editing tools in Microsoft Word
The course gives you an overview of the whole writing process, step-by-step, from planning to publication. But you can also dive into a specific part of the process, depending on where you are with your document.
If you’re starting a document from scratch, start at part 1 (Planning) and get the foundations right.
On the other hand, if you’ve already started your document and want to fine-tune it, go straight to part 2 (Quick ways to improve your writing style).
And if you’re close to the deadline and just want to give it a quick but effective edit and proofread, go to part 3 (Review and polish).
“Good for beginners & intermediates. We are taught about getting to the point and how business writing is different from others…how to save your time all along the entire process and of course you will be able to impress your boss.” ROY MATHEW, UDEMY STUDENT
“Jakki is an excellent tutor … I do not hesitate in recommending this course to others who want to improve their writing skills.” LAURA SMITH, UDEMY STUDENT
“Satisfying and helpful!” ALLEN JONES, UDEMY STUDENT
As well as Udemy’s 30-day guarantee, you have my personal promise that what you learn on this course will give you the foundations of good writing practice. These will benefit you throughout your career, as they have for hundreds of other students who have taken my courses.
Don’t waste another minute worrying that your writing skills are letting you down. Take this course and start writing confidently, like a pro. Enroll now!
