The Basic Grammar Essentials and Business Writing Essentials courses are for busy business people who want to learn the essentials of business grammar and writing with fewer writing activities. It contains training in only the most important skills a businessperson needs to know to be able to write clear, effective business documents with correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, word usage, and sentence structure. The two courses provide the perfect combination of skills, so the Business Writing Center discounts the tuition if you enroll for both at the same time. More . . .
The Basic Grammar and Writing Skills for Business course contains training in both usage (grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure) and business writing (e-mail, memos, letters, reports, and other documents). The focus is on providing the business writer who has some usage problems with the instruction to make his or her writing clear, effective, and correct. Business people with many basic writing skills problems should take BWC110 Basic Writing Skills Tutorial.The course uses the lessons from the Business Writing Skills course without the 12 practice activities. The time you would have spent on the practice activities is devoted to the grammar training.
The training materials include an online index for continued use of the reference tools after the course is finished. Course materials remain online for the duration of the course and after the course is finished.
Course Time: You will go through the course at your own pace, so you could complete it within a few weeks. However, you have up to four months to complete the course so you can fit the study time into your schedule. All lessons must be finished within the four-month period. More . . .

Jeff
I need to thank you. I heard from Aaron (CEO) and Drew (COO) today. They like the first draft of my annual report very much. Aaron made a point of saying your course has really helped my business writing a lot. It’s a great relief to know my writing’s getting better–in a business sense.
I owe you a big thank you! The company that had me doing contract work hired me as their copywriter. I am so excited. I have been learning so much. But not only that, I am writing Web-site content for my boss’s new company. He gave me free creative power on the content. It’s amazing. I love it.
Margeurite
I felt the courses were very helpful to me. The owners here noticed a positive change in my emails, memos, and letters since the courses.
Thank you,
Nanette
My boss told me that it was the best money he has spent. This class had helped me to organize my thoughts better, write clearer sentences, and get to the point faster.
I can write much better that I used to.
Braden
The business writing course was my first online course. I enjoyed it. I found everything I needed online. I was able to get my questions answered quickly and that was nice. The lessons went over everything I was interested in learning. I would take another writing class and have recommended it to co-workers.
