'Act now to master the skills of clear, persuasive writing'

What motivates adults to learn? Adults learn when they are actively involved and given the opportunity to share their experience and expertise.

People remember only 5% of what they hear in a lecture. So what can we do to make training more memorable?

Brainpower Training draws on research* which shows an audiovisual lifts memory to 20%, while interactive discussion increases retention to 50%.

Our experienced and qualified facilitator tailors the workshop to your group by:

• triggering interactive discussion
• leading brainstorming exercises
• asking quality questions
• comparing case studies

These open-ended exercises help people discover for themselves what you want them to know.

The facilitator adapts and customises the presentation to suit the specific needs of you and your team.

You'll makeover your own writing sample on the spot and walk out with your writing transformed. And you'll also have a 100% self-correcting checklist to work with every time you write.

Everyone receives a reader-friendly, illustrated workbook to refer to during and after the course. You'll also be presented with a Certificate of Achievement for successfully completing the course.
