Course Description
Writing is a key method of communication for most people, and it’s one that many people struggle with. Writing and communication skills have degraded with more and more people communicating through email and text messaging. Developing writing skills is still important in the business world, as creating proper documents (such as proposals, reports, and agendas) gives you that extra edge in the workplace.
