Sample training course

We focus on a few simple themes, such as:

• Decide what you want to achieve.
• Organise your thoughts.
• Write for your reader, not for yourself.
• Simplify your language.
• Make it look easy to read.

Two half-day sessions might look like this:

Session 1 - Write with purpose, consider your reader

Exercises	Learning points
Ask yourself: What am I trying to achieve? Who will read this? How do I ensure they get the message? Rewrite sentences selected from your own work.	Define your purpose. Avoid jargon. Use fewer words. Be specific. Use more verbs. Write in the active not the passive. Construct strong, simple sentences.

Session 2 - Organise your information, make it look easy to read
