Unclear policy and procedure documents can easily be misunderstood or misconstrued. When this happens, it can lead to inconsistencies, inefficiencies – even legal action or other serious consequences for the users of the documents, or the people affected by them.
But with clear, active and specific writing, every employee or stakeholder will know where they stand and how they should act in any professional situation.
On this practical and interactive CPD-accredited course, we’ll show you how to write accessible policies and procedures that mean the expertise within your organisation can be put into action.
We deliver this interactive course online using the latest web technology, so you can attend no matter where you are. All you need is a computer, a headset and stable internet access.
By joining this training, you’ll also get a year’s access to our comprehensive, CPD-accredited e-learning programme The complete business writer (which would normally cost £150). That consists of 52 interactive, expert modules that will reinforce and build on the techniques you learn on the course day.
☆ This course has been awarded first place for two years running in Findcourses.co.uk’s list of Top 10 Communication Skills Courses.
