Ensuring that CitySprint doesn’t  miss any errors when proofreading

Marketing Manager Sally-Anne Canning understands the importance of accuracy in documents – and wanted to make sure other people in the business did too.

She had noticed that people were making spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, and even missing whole words from sentences. She wanted to train people from her marketing team, as well as the bid, sales, account management, HR and compliance teams, on how to thoroughly proofread their work.

The training solution: two Grammar and Proofreading Quick Wins courses, to train up to 40 people

By running two of Writing Machine Academy’s three-hour Grammar and Proofreading Quick Wins courses, Sally-Anne was able to train 40 delegates. The training helped delegates appreciate why proofreading is so important, and taught them some excellent techniques for ensuring they don’t miss any errors. The course also showed delegates how to avoid some of the most common grammatical mistakes. Following the training, Sally-Anne noticed real improvements in the delegates’ quality of writing.

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 4.6 out of 5.
