Plain English Course

Plain English makes information more accessible. While Plain English doesn't erase the impact of low literacy, it does give more people a better chance of reading and understanding your message. That's especially important when the people who most need your information are also more likely to have trouble with reading.

Clear, reader-focused documents written in Plain English facilitate decision-making in business and ensure your clients or customers understand your documents by simply being easy to read and understand. This course teaches techniques for producing clear documents written in Plain English, avoiding false elegance and jargon.
