Mistakes are embarrassing, make a poor impression on managers and colleagues, and damage customer relations.</p> <p class="BodyWideSpace">A survey by Royal Mail in 2005 indicated that grammatical errors and spelling mistakes cost UK businesses £41 billion in lost sales. Almost a third of people questioned said they wouldn't buy products or services from companies that used poor spelling or grammar.</p> <p class="BodyWideSpace">If you are preparing a letter, report, proposal, brochure, job application or any other formal document, you can't afford to make mistakes. The Grammar at Work course will fill the holes in your knowledge, boost your confidence and help you to write in a clear and professional manner.</p> <p class="BodyWideSpace">We will review the rules in a straightforward and supportive way, with the minimum of jargon; it really won't feel like being back at school. Examples from business documents and newspapers will help you to see why grammar and punctuation matter and how they apply to your everyday work.</p> <p class="BodyWideSpace">After the course you will receive a year of further support from your tutor, to help you through moments of uncertainty. You will also take away a detailed course manual that will become a valuable desktop guide.</p> <p class="Heading">The details</p> <hr color="#ECECEC" noshade style="height:1; border-style:none"> <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="1%" valign="top" align="left"><img style="margin-right: 16; margin-top: 8" border="0" src="http://www.stephenlloydtraining.co.uk/images/pencilandpaper.jpg" width="72" height="73" alt="Course details"></td> <td width="70%"> <p class="SubTitle" style="margin-top:6"><img src="http://www.stephenlloydtraining.co.uk/images/subtitle.gif"> Summary</p> <ul class="Body" style="color: #FF3300; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 2" type="square"> <li> <p class="Body">1 day</p> </li> <li> <p class="Body">9.30 am–5.00 pm</p> </li> <li> <p class="Body">Small groups</p> </li> <li> <p class="Body">Certificates</p> </li> <li> <p class="Body">A year of free support</p> </li> <li> <p class="Body">£395.00 + VAT</p> </li> <li> <p class="Body">A 20% discount is available to charities and local authorities</p> </li> </ul> </td> <td width="29%" valign="top"> <p class="LinkButton"><a class="LinkButton" onmouseover="window.status = 'Book an open course on-line'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status = ''; return true;" title="Book an open course on-line" hidefocus="" target="_top" href="http://www.stephenlloydtraining.co.uk/bookonline.htm?6"><img src="http://www.stephenlloydtraining.co.uk/images/bookbutton.gif" width="128" height="17" alt="Book on-line" style="margin-left: 16; margin-right: 8; margin-top: 10; margin-bottom: 8" border="0"></a></p> <p class="LinkButton"><a class="LinkButton" onmouseover="window.status = 'Details of our open course venues'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status = ''; return true;" title="Details of our open course venues" hidefocus="" target="_top" href="http://www.stephenlloydtraining.co.uk/venues.htm"><img src="http://www.stephenlloydtraining.co.uk/images/wherebutton.gif" width="128" height="17" alt="Course venues" style="margin-left: 16; margin-right: 8; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 8" border="0"></a></p> <p class="LinkButton"><a class="LinkButton" onmouseover="window.status = 'Dates of forthcoming open courses'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status = ''; return true;" title="Dates of forthcoming open courses" hidefocus="" target="_top" href="http://www.stephenlloydtraining.co.uk/dates.htm"><img src="http://www.stephenlloydtraining.co.uk/images/datesbutton.gif" width="128" height="17" alt="View all course dates" style="margin-left: 16; margin-right: 8; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 8" border="0"></a></p> <p class="SmallQuote">"I found the whole course really useful.
