Advanced business communication

Quo Vadis Communications' (QVC) highly acclaimed basic internal and external communication skills training has equipped hundreds of participants over the past 25 years with essential writing and communication skills. As a result of the training many participants have gone on to successful careers in communication thanks to the knowledge and practical skills received on the course.

"The course changed my life - I moved from dreaming of being a writer to becoming one. I am ever grateful to Theo Coggin and his Quo Vadis team for setting me on the path to where I am today." - Burgie Ireland, Medical freelance writer, former writer for Your Pregnancy and Your Baby magazines, registered nurse, healthcare educator and co-owner of Just 1 teenager.
