Organisational communication course

A unique course to help you communicate effectively and powerfully.

Everyone in a company, whether a receptionist, a manager or the chief executive officer is a communicator. Each conveys various forms of information on the organisation to stakeholders.
Complicated and often boring topics such as financials, HR plans, goals and initiatives need to be presented in such a way that anyone can understand them. This is not an easy task.

Quo Vadis Communications' popular and unique Organisational Communication Course is designed to assist even the most inexperienced communicator to do just that, communicate.
Through theory and practical exercises, participants are taught how to edit copy and how to make it appeal to their readers.

Based on the premise that writing is the foundation of communication, participants will during the six-day course:
• complete a variety of written exercises;
• learn about the complex issues surrounding writing and communication;
• begin to understand the principles of good grammar;
• begin to master the skills of writing, editing and subediting;
• understand the importance of proofreading; and work with deadlines which will equip them to deal with business pressures.

Deborah Aremband, Nedbank Capital: "I found the course to be very practical. As the saying goes: "If you read something you forget it, if you hear something you remember it, and if you do something you understand it". That saying epitomises this course. We had to complete assignments based on what we had learnt and therefore left the course really understanding what we learnt. We received extremely constructive feedback that enabled us to visibly improve within the few days of the course. The course material is thorough and the Quo Vadis staff that run the course are professional and have many years of experience. They are happy to share examples of every aspect of the course and this makes the various elements memorable. I think this course may have taught me just as much in six days as my degree did in three years. I would strongly recommend the course to anyone commencing work in the field of communications". It is also great for those who wish to "top-up" or freshen their skills.

Fikiswa Mapoma, from East London: "The course was really helpful in improving my writing, marketing and communication skills. The information received by QVC was clear, simple to understand and interesting."

Helen Canterbury, Metropolitan Life, Cape Town: "The course gave me a greater understanding of writing and of the English language in general. The information is not only useful in the corporate environment, but in your personal life too."
