Prior to the course, participants have the opportunity to submit documents to the consultant, who provides detailed feedback in the course on all aspects of the document. Participants can use the comments to enhance their own drafting skills by re-organising and redrafting the relevant parts of their documents.
Following the course, participants can submit reports to the consultant, who provides electronic feedback. This will enable participants to list areas where the principles of good writing were applied and to identify and enhance areas where they still need to improve.
