Basic Business Grammar Training

The Basic Grammar Essentials course is a short survey course, meaning it contains an overview of all of the areas of English usage important to business writers in short explanations with examples. The course contains a pre-test to evaluate the trainee's knowledge coming into the course and ends with a post-test. Each lesson also has a pre-test and post-test. For an in-depth grammar survey course with readings from a grammar textbook, enroll in BWC100 Basic Grammar for Business.
