Discover the secrets of good writing

Our writing skills courses are designed for fund management professionals, using relevant examples and training materials. We know that you are busy people, and so our courses are delivered as intensive one-day workshops at your offices or as shorter online sessions.

In these workshops, we share the secrets of great writing, identify mistakes to avoid and introduce techniques for becoming a more efficient writer. Practical exercises help embed the learning.

Tailored to your needs

Whether you want help with grammar nuts and bolts, crucial elements of writing style such as concision, narrative structure or all of the above, we can design a course that meets your needs. We work with texts that you supply and concentrate on the points you want to cover.

As a small, two-person team, we guarantee that the people who design your course will also deliver it. Our bespoke courses – designed in collaboration with you – are a great way to effect change across your organisation and create a better writing culture.

In-person courses

Our in-person courses take place at your offices for maximum convenience. This allows delegates to ask informal questions during breaks.

In-person courses usually take the form of single intensive one-day workshops, but we are happy to discuss your individual requirements. One-day workshops include trainer and peer feedback, and each delegate leaves with a personalised three-point plan to improve their writing in the workplace.

Online courses

Like our in-person courses, our online workshops are tailored to your needs. Online courses are usually delivered in 90-minute segments, each of which concentrates on particular aspects of writing style, audience awareness or narrative structure. We use texts from your archive and address the points you want to cover.
