Why take this course?

Your success in business depends on your ability to communicate.

Want to get ahead in your career? Learn to write well.

If you can’t write clearly, you won’t get hired. And if can’t write clearly, you won’t last long enough in a position to be considered for promotion. If you want to get ahead in your career, you must learn to write well.

Welcome to The Business Writing Course. I’m your instructor, Alan Sharpe. I teach business people around the world how to write clearly, concisely and convincingly. I landed my first paying writing assignment in 1987, and I taught my first business writing workshop in 1989. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of individuals advance their careers by improving their business writing. Now I’d like to help you.

The Business Writing Course is divided into four modules:

  • Module one is an introduction to the world of business writing

  • Module two teaches you the first step in business writing—how to organize your thoughts

  • Module three teaches you the second step in business writing—writing your first draft

  • Module four teaches you the third and final step in business writing—editing your first draft

Fantastic course. 4 hours long but kept engaged the entire time through Alan's presentation style. Writing isn't the most exciting topic but critical in many professions, including mine, so Alan's ability to make it engaging, interesting and easy to learn from deserves 5 stars in my opinion.

I expected the course to cover the different types of business writing, e.g. memos, emails, etc. but it covers one topic which is how to write in plain English. The explaining of the tutor is clear and direct. I am glad to be introduced to the topic of plain English. I thought the more academic the writing, the better. The case that the tutor presented completely refuted my opinion.

Hope that the instructor will get to the point soon, as far as know the course is good but not up to my expectations.

Taking this course is a fantastic fit for me because I have never given clear writing any thought. It also helped me understand why some of the information I read was so unclear.

This course is good because each lesson is explained clearly. The instructor gives examples which make each explanation easy to understand and apply. While studying the Business Writing Course, I noticed that I'm always thinking about how to write more simply, clearly and to the point. Thank you, Alan.

I feel that the videos I've watched do not match the current learning climate needed for younger generations in college. This feels like an older model of teaching that is going obsolete. It doesn't capture my attention. I took business writing courses during college and consider myself not a novice, and this feels like a general education class. The methods are there and sound, but needs to be presented in a manner suitable for everyone this could be applicable or helpful to.

Alan explains things clearly and is well-spoken. They add interesting visuals that are added to enhance the video.

I learnt some good tips for writing clearly and concisely and look forward to putting into practice. I liked that it was created for online learners and not a recording of a seminar/lecture.
