Clear English: training and editing
Welcome
Thank you for visiting this website, which shows our services, experience and results. Please ask for full testimonials, sample training programmes and materials, and suggestions about how we would work with your people.
What we do
Nigel Grant Training Ltd is a specialist business communication company, family owned and operated. We have two complementary service areas: training and editing.
We design and present tailored training courses on clear written and spoken communication. We frequently update our general materials, create dedicated materials from clients' documents and include pre- and post-course support for a year. We talk carefully with every client to help ensure their training programme suits their needs.
Our editing is rigorous, accurate and literate. Why state what should be obvious? Look at most printed and electronic documents, all produced by professional writers: errors abound, from basic spelling and punctuation glitches to hidden slips of grammar, logic, vocabulary and style noticed only by eagle-eyed readers. We negotiate and advise, recognizing there is often more than one route to clarity.
Our people
As with the main plain English providers in the UK, we are a small family firm. There are no voluntary sector campaigns in this field. Our main trainer and editor, Nigel Grant, has two English degrees and nearly thirty years' teaching and training experience. Various family members act as advisers and editors. They each have at least one directly relevant degree from a Russell Group university (most have two); all work in fields such as government communications, software consultancy, medicine and information management. We have two well-qualified and experienced associate trainers available for emergency cover. Our Feedback page gives an idea of the results we get.
Questions to ask
Please contact us to discuss your organization's needs and to ask about our background, experience, materials, approach and competitive prices. Good training providers are happy to give ample specific information. If you are looking at a range of suppliers, always enquire about these areas and speak directly to the person who will work with your staff.
