Learn effective communications skills by following the Business Writing study guide. Whether you are faced with a blank page that ultimately needs to become a business letter, a proposal, a memo, a report, or any other written communication, you need to understand basic writing skills. In addition to understanding the basics of writing such as punctuation, spelling and grammar, business writing has its own special requirements.

Use the Business Writing courseware to learn the ins and outs of the written word tailored for business applications. You'll learn to create effective and visually appealing documents that clearly communicate your intentions.

Like all of CBT Planet's computer training books and business skill-building books, this Business Writing courseware is expertly written using plain language and a comprehensive format. You'll follow five logical units, participate in interactive exercises, and study review questions at the conclusion of each unit.

In addition, you can use this courseware to learn these techniques as a standalone self-directed training book or you can use it along with another training course. After successfully completing this course, you will have new skills and a handy reference book you can refer to whenever you are faced with a tricky business writing project.
