Why report writing training?

Quality reports turn information into action. Yet, without the right training, professionals often produce reports that are lengthy, dull – and difficult to navigate.

By investing in report writing skills, you’ll ensure the insights your teams share are accessible, logical and impactful. You’ll benefit from:

Faster decision-making: Clear, concise reports help your leaders make informed choices quickly.
Improved productivity: Employees spend less time drafting and reworking reports.
Stronger business cases: Well-structured reports boost buy-in for future projects and funding.
Reduced miscommunication: Clearer writing means fewer misunderstandings and errors.
Greater compliance: Properly documented reports help you to meet legal and regulatory requirements.
Better client relationships: Robust proposals improve credibility and trust with partners.

Quick-fire FAQs

Who will be the facilitator at our workshop?

At CSA, all our facilitators are subject matter experts in their fields.

This course is run by either Vikki or Veronica, professional copywriters who use the writing tips and techniques they teach every single day. That’s how – and why – they know they work! (When they’re not training, they’re writing: through our sister copywriting agency, Refresh Marketing.)

So who would you rather spend your dollars on? A trainer who simply conveys the information? Or an experienced practitioner who lives and breathes it?

What’s the maximum number of participants per workshop?

We cap face-to-face sessions at 15 people – as groups any larger than this reduce opportunities for interaction and feedback.

So if you have more people to train than this, please ask us about our special rate for multiple workshops.

What is the structure of the sessions?

Workshops are always fun, engaging and interactive.

Although we do lay down some important theoretical foundations at the start, the sessions are hands-on and activity-based. We encourage lots of dialogue and discussion – and work hard to get everyone involved.

We will tailor the workshop to your precise needs. So please take the program outline as a guide only.

What do we get for our investment?

A fully customised workshop tailored to your organisation’s objective
A detailed workbook for each participant with frameworks and tools (also a valuable reference long after the workshop is over)
A handy one-page checklist for your team to keep by their side whenever they write

How do you charge?

We charge a fixed fee for groups of 15 people, not per head. That’s why we always encourage our clients to take advantage of all spots for maximum value.

And remember: all workshops are tailored to your needs at no added cost.

Please contact us for a customised quote for your workplace.

Do you offer a credential for this course?

Yes! All your team members will be entitled to a Credly digital badge after they complete this course. At the end of the session, we will send a digital badge to each participant via email. They can then display the badge on their LinkedIn profile and on any other places they wish.
