Overview
This very practical 2 day course is designed to help Government Analysts (GES, GSR, GSS, GORS) to communicate technical, complex, detailed, abstract information simply, precisely and briefly to others (whether Ministers, other officials or the public). It covers written communication and teaches how to write quickly and effectively for readers who are not analysts and have precious little time in which to grasp often complex ideas. This intensive course achieves consistently excellent feedback, in most cases achieving the highest possible scores from all delegates. At just five delegates per tutor, it provides individual detailed feedback, hints and tips.
