About This Course:
Our Plain English Writing Skills course is designed for those working with contracts in the fields of law, business, government, medicine, finance, and academics.
This course will give professionals the ability to simplify contracts, reports, legal documents, research explanations, and other writing that is often fogged by unnecessarily complex and stilted phrasing and jargon so thick the reader isn't able to get to the meaning.
Your program contains assignments, practice activities, and written competency exams. Similar to how college classes work, you do your assigned work on your own, then submit it to your instructor, who grades, comments upon, and returns the assignment to you. The instructor will coach you in this way until you master the skills. FYI, your instructor is also available via email or phone.
