Syllabus:
AMA's Business Grammar Workshop - Writing /
Communications Training Seminar
Professionals who can write clearly and correctly
are far more valuable to an organization than those whose business writing is
filled with errors. Whether you need to refresh your knowledge of grammar and
punctuation—or know what’s grammatically correct but can’t always explain
why—this highly interactive and collaborative seminar is the perfect and
painless solution. You’ll learn the standard rules for proper usage and grammar,
and then work with your seminar colleagues to apply what you’ve learned in
hands-on exercises and activities. Return to your job with greater confidence
and ability when writing any types of business correspondence.
