About this course

If you could never understand the difference between a colon and a semi colon, or between their and there and they’re, then this is the course for you!

We’ll take a fresh look at all the things you’ve forgotten or never understood at school so that you can write emails and messages with the confidence that you will be right (or should that be write?!)

Please note, this is not an ESOL course.

Through attending this course, you will gain an understanding of:

- Spelling and grammar

- Homophones and homonyms – what’s the difference?

- Meaning of different words e.g. obviate; diffident; minutiae

- Correct use of punctuation – what’s a colon? Where should I put an apostrophe?

- The origins of some popular words we use everyday

- The difference between a noun; a verb; an adverb and adjective

As this course is online, a suitable device such as laptop, smart phone, tablet or computer will be required to access the course. The link for you to join the live sessions will be sent to you once your enrolment has been completed.
