Highly experienced presenter Jane Smith has delivered Word Smiths courses to people in universities and colleges, financial institutions, industry, government departments, local authorities, NGOs and other public sector bodies. Each course can be given your organisation's specific focus so that it meets your particular objectives.
Open courses
Most Word Smiths courses are run in-company – held at an organisation’s own premises for its staff. However, we do run a limited number of full-day open courses, where we deliver the same content for individuals, or organisations who have a small number of people who want to attend. Word Smiths open courses are normally held in Bristol.
