Courses

  • Grammar and Proofreading Quick Wins

“At Allianz we’re diligent about making sure the documents we send out are correct, but things were still getting missed,” says Sharon Curd, Marketing Manager, Allianz. 

“We were looking for a proofreading course which would improve the level of accuracy for a range of employees – from commercial to marketing and underwriting.

The training solution: a half day proofreading course for up to 20 delegates

Writing Machine Academy’s Grammar and Proofreading Quick Wins course offered the perfect solution. Sharon could train up to 20 staff members, from different departments and with varying levels of experience.

“For the more experienced employees, Grammar and Proofreading Quick Wins was a very useful refresher,” says Sharon. “The spelling section and how to properly use the apostrophe were great reminders. For the more junior delegates, there was definitely plenty for them to learn. And everyone was very pleased with the certificates they came away with!”

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 3.8 out of 5.
