Writing Winning Tenders and Proposals

This course is run over two  days. During this time, delegates will learn how to build up the very precise skills and tools needed to write successful tender documents. This course is usually run on bespoke basis, so it can be focused on the specific needs of the company who has hired us. We can also provide a different version of this training for non-native English speakers.

The course is taught with the aid of interactive teaching and much of their time will be spent on practical busiess writing exercises, which will be individually assessed throughout the two days.

How quickly we can move from one part of the course to the next will largely be determined by the business writing skills of the group we are training. The course is run for a maximum of eight delegates at a time.
