Testimonials

"A practical, enjoyable and insightful course, which successfully imparts the importance of ‘plain English’, as well as providing an interesting trip down memory lane to the English classes of my school days, a reminder of how much I had forgotten and how easy it is to get into bad habits! The course material is both useful and accessible and will undoubtedly prove invaluable upon my return to the workplace where I intend to put into place some of the skills practiced during the course."
- Debi Strawson,
Lead Operations, Perenco UK

"The most interesting parts for me were the exercises because I like the ‘hands on’ approach. I find ‘to do’ is the best way for me to learn. I also liked sharing ideas with my colleagues and having the time to think about how we can move forward with our documentation project. I valued Philip’s input and suggestions."
