Plain English training

We offer one-day and half-day courses and shorter workshops on applying plain English techniques to writing and layout.

Our training courses on plain English vary from short workshops to half-day and full-day courses. We offer open courses, for people from different organisations, or can tailor a course to a single organisation. We can also offer train-the-trainer courses to groups.

Through real-world examples and exercises, we aim to make the training as relevant and informative as possible. Regular exercises give participants the opportunity to apply what they learn in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

Our open courses are held in a convenient location for all participants. Our group courses are usually in the organisation’s premises.
