Essential Writing Skills Course Comments 

“It brought home the importance of written communication within the public sector. It provided me with useful insights, provided techniques that I can implement and a potentially useful document resource.” UK Research & Innovation

“I would highly recommend this session! The trainer was brilliant. All sessions work at pace that was clear, easy to follow and understand. Thank you!” BEIS

“Very useful, interactive and enjoyable. Thank you.” Westminster City Council

My main objective was to have a better understanding of how to formulate consultation responses. My job is in Regulation for an energy company in NI and I have only been in the job for a short time. Part of my role is to write consultations in response to Regulatory or industry proposals. I feel after the course I am better equipped to prepare and write these consultation responses in the correct manner. Firmus Energy
