At AWC, we offer:

Your customers (internal and external) are surrounded by information every day. To create an impact requires engaging communication that is appropriate to its audience, clear, error-free and consistent across your team. With our range of specialised writing training – delivered at your workplace – we give your organisation the competitive edge, no matter what industry you’re in.
“We had an excellent presenter who tailored the course to participants’ needs. Three ‘a-ha’ moments made it worth the fee alone. The take-home course notes and Australian Business Style Guide are an excellent ongoing resource.”
Claire O’Connor
Benefits of training for your organisation:
- Greater staff morale, thanks to new skills that
are transferable to all aspects of life. - Increased productivity through consistent
internal communication. - Improved efficiencies through better explained processes, memos or reporting.
- Greater profits, from less downtime and fewer combined hours spent on miscommunication or unnecessary meetings.
- More satisfied customers and greater potential for new customers who are influenced by quality communication.
- Minimal downtime for you and your team – short courses, available at your workplace.
- Ongoing access to common issues through ready-reference Australian Business Style Guide (one per participant).
“Great course and very knowledgeable instructor! I found the whole day to be very enjoyable and beneficial to help me with my current job. I liked that the presenter asked us for examples from our workplace. He obviously keeps updated with the web and this was reflected in the course.”
Catherine Zsifko
Included for every participant:
the Australian Business Style Guide
We take our training seriously – with comprehensive notes given to all participants on the day. However, we also want your team to feel that they have the right answers on hand every single day after that.
That’s why we created the Australian Business Style Guide – a unique grab-and-go guide designed to strip away the nonsense and give you the answer you’re looking for, at your fingertips. Everything from grammar and punctuation to troublesome bullet lists, common misspelled words and whether or not a word needs a hyphen.
It’s all about cementing the learning, and it’s the perfect desk guide
to have on hand at all times.
