General Business Writing Courses
The following courses contain training in general business writing principles. The methods apply to all business documents, with a focus on e-mail, memos, letters, and reports.
The courses are self-pacing, so you decide when to work. When you complete an assignment or take a test, you send it by e-mail to your instructor. The instructor comments on the assignments and tests, coaches you through learning the skills you are having difficulty with, and answers questions for you. You may take these courses from anywhere in the world.
At the end of the course, you receive a graduation certificate with our gold seal on it for framing.
