The course is not designed for the average business person who has usage problems. It is for the business person who already has good language skills, but would like to learn the grammar rules well enough to polish his or her own writing and even edit or proofread others' writing.

Alternative courses:

If you have usage problems in your writing, we recommend the individualized course in which you learn only the usage rules that pertain to specific problems you display. The course is the Basic Writing Skills Tutorial course.

If you have few usage problems but would like to learn to proofread your writing better and would like to have a general survey of the grammar rules without learning them in-depth, we recommend the Editing, Polishing, and Proofreading Your Business Writing course. It explains the most important grammar rules briefly and teaches basic proofreading skills.

List of usage areas covered in the Basic Grammar for Business course:

Developing clear, correct sentences
1. Combining sentences
   
2. Avoiding dangling and misplaced modifiers
   
3. Using adverbs correctly
   
4. Using modifiers correctly

The course helps trainees learn new patterns to replace the old by using their own sentences as examples. The teaching, practice, and tests are based on the trainee's own writing as much as possible. It is highly individualized. The instructor carefully evaluates five writing samples and prescribes study and practice based on the trainee's unique needs. Trainees work on only the specific skills they need to learn.
