Participant reviews

“I have written a lot of briefing notes – and my last three positions were largely focused on briefing note-type writing – I still found that I learned a lot from this course.”
–Anna

“The instructor was very well prepared and knowledgeable. I think the training will lead to an increase in the quality of briefing notes written by our team.”
–Victoria

“I really like the balance of discussion and activities. The course was paced perfectly, and was not boring.
I liked all the exercises we did and that they were examples taken from actual texts.”
–Katie

“Lots of good content, reminders, tips and tricks for writing in general. Can be applied to much more than just briefing notes”
–Sarah
