Two interactive & informative events at Monkhouse Granary. 

SCPR – Gold Star Training Services:

SCPR will be running one of their popular plain English training courses on February 18th at Monkhouse Granary near Shrewsbury.

The cost is £150 plus VAT for the day. If two or more people attend from the same organisation, the price is £125 per person plus VAT.

The one-day course covers the following points during the morning session:

  • the reasons for plain English
  • understanding the different target groups (disabled people, black and minority ethnic people, young and older people)
  • basic problems – long words, long sentences, confused meaning
  • basic grammar

The afternoon session brings all these into play with an exercise designed to build up editing skills. This is a popular part of the course and helps demonstrate how long words, long and passive sentences and surplus information can have an impact on the readability of a passage.

The second part of the afternoon session answers some common questions: how to use a colon, when to use capital letters, use of the apostrophe and so on.
