"I like the online course because you can do it at your own pace,"

- Barbara Boyea

"E-mail has just erupted like a weed, and instead of considering what to say when they write, people now just let thoughts drool out onto the screen," Dr. Hogan said. "It has companies at their wits' end."

Writing Effective Workplace

“After 33 years of teaching writing to business people, I have the conviction that only by having clear corporate standards for writing, training employees to acquire the skills to attain the standards, and enforcing performance that meets the standards will companies be able to develop a culture that has a high-quality, clear, effective writing in all forms, but especially in emails.”
Dr. Craig Hogan, Founder Business Writing Center

I'm very happy to have graduated considering the work pressure I had in my office. I thank you and your team for the excellent program. I'll definitely recommend it to others.”

“Thank you! I enjoyed the class and it was a challenge. One of my employees took your proofreading class and said that course was also very good. We are so impressed that all future employees working in my department as proofreaders will take the course. In fact, you should be receiving payment for my latest hire.”

Thanks again,
