Course Overview

This workshop will help participants who have to prepare longer, more complex reports than the shorter ones more frequently used in the public sector. These reports are often made public.

The course will look at modern trends in reports and will give participants choices in how to structure their reports appropriately for the kind of report they are preparing and the audience for whom it is intended. They will practise writing executive summaries. They will look at the language to use and the ways to present their findings and details in an engaging way.

It will use real and current examples.
