Self-instructional Business Writing Courses

The Business Writing Center offers three courses in a self-instructional format. Students go through the training at their own paces, without submitting assignments to an instructor. The training is clearly laid out so students can learn from the courses without instructor guidance. However, Center staff are available to answer questions about course procedures.

The training is interactive, with extensive examples, exercises that show the correct answers immediately, tests, and writing-practice activities containing sample documents to show how the documents might have been written.

Because faculty time is not involved in these courses, the tuition is much less. Volume discounts are available for organizations. Send an e-mail to center@writingtrainers.com to ask about volume discounts.

Register for any of these courses by filling out the enrollment form at http://www.writingtrainers.com/register/regiformdata.htm.

Currently, three courses are available in the self-instructional format:

BWC21 Business Writing Skills
BWC35 Writing Clear, Effective E-mail
BWC80 Basic Business Grammar

Sample lessons for the three courses are available for examination at these links:

The sample lesson for the Basic Business Grammar course contains training on commas, including the pre-test, lesson materials, and post-test.

Cost

Each set of materials is available to be used by one student. Cost of the courses for one to five students is $39 per student. Discounts are available for more students.

After a student has completed the course materials, Center faculty can evaluate a post-course writing sample and provide a report on the student's skills. Cost of each evaluation is $34.

Students who decide to transfer into the instructor-led versions of the courses will receive tuition credit for the fee paid for the self-instructional course.

The enrollment form is at this link: http://www.writingtrainers.com/register/regiformdata.htm.

If you have questions about the courses and volume discounts, e-mail the center at center@writingtrainers.com or call the Center at 800 827-3770 (309 452-2831 outside the US).
