Teaching Brand Recruitment techniques to help spot and correct grammatical mistakes

Brand Recruitment’s recruitment consultants send written communications to both clients and candidates on a daily basis.

With so many emails to send and application deadlines to keep up with, Managing Director Steve Mann noticed a lot of grammatical errors were slipping through the net.

The training solution: A short, practical course full of techniques to help spot and correct grammatical mistakes

“We looked around for a suitable course and Writing Machine Academy offered us the best solution,” says Steve. “They proposed a short course that was full of practical tips for spotting typos and understanding punctuation and spelling rules.”

“The trainer presented this potentially dry subject in a really lively and engaging way. Plus she was very knowledgeable about complex grammar rules and, perhaps more importantly for our purposes, how they work in a business context. Even our tricky questions about when to use capital letters in job titles, an issue we often come across in our line of work, didn’t trip her up!”

“Before the course had even finished, I was getting enthusiastic feedback from our recruitment consultants. And now, a few weeks later, I’m already noticing a marked improvement in the team’s grammar skills and confidence.  The course certainly was three hours well spent.”

Client feedback

Delegates were asked to give a score out of five on a list of feedback questions such as ‘Quality of the training content’, ‘Quality of the trainer’ and ‘I have learned new techniques that will enhance my writing’. The average score was 4.7 out of 5.
