Our approach

All training needs to enhance the success of your business. Our courses aim to:

  • improve your staff’s performance so that they produce written work of a higher quality, with less supervision
  • reduce your and your clients' legal risk by clarifying areas that might otherwise lead to claims or contractual disputes
  • make your clients and other readers happier because your documents are clearer and easier to read, and more focused on their needs.

Tailored training

We tailor our courses to suit your needs and your business’s preferred approach to learning. We can make courses longer or shorter, focus them on a particular team and use your standard documents in exercises. If you’d like the participants to do pre- or post-course work, that’s no problem. We’re happy to travel to you, wherever you are.

Coaching

We regularly work one to one with individuals on all our areas of expertise, often (but not necessarily) as a follow-up to a course. We can, for example, work with people to develop their writing or drafting style. We also advise organisations on changing their writing culture and on bringing in a plain language policy. Learn more about our coaching services.

Editing

We offer plain language editing services at reasonable rates for businesses wanting their external materials to give a consistent message. Learn more about our editing services.
