Courses

  • Structured Bid Writing (Fundamentals)

The Thales Air Defence subject matter experts based in Belfast were struggling with communicating the written word in their bids in a clear and concise way. 

Although it was recognised that they needed some bid writing training, time out of the office was a luxury, and it needed to be spent carefully. If they weren’t at their desks – they weren’t writing bids.

To address this issue, we provided two Structured Bid Writing (Fundamentals) courses. Although this course doesn’t cover all the modules from the Advanced course, delegates still looked at structuring, bid messages, engaging writing and thinking about their audience.

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 learnt new techniques that will enhance my writing’. The average score was 3.9 out of 5.
