For teams · closed groups
Bring a group of your own.
A closed group is one of these programs run for your team alone: the same tutor, the same sessions, on dates agreed with you.
In the hybrid room, or on the meeting link
The hybrid room at Northline Central has a camera and a room microphone, so part of a team can sit at the table while the rest join from their desks, week by week.
Sample material, and nothing recorded
Bring sample or non-confidential documents. Sessions are not recorded; the tutor shares written notes afterwards.
One invoice, in the employer’s name
Yes. Ask for an invoice in your employer’s name when you register.

How a program is built · Business Writing Lab
Six weeks, three stages, one checklist.
The writing lab’s six weeks, as its program page states them: Tuesdays, 18:00–19:30, in the room or on the meeting link.
Weeks 1–2
A structure before a draft
Work through sample workplace messages and choose a useful structure before writing a line.
Weeks 3–4
Revise for purpose and tone
Edit for clarity without flattening your voice. Bring sample or non-confidential messages; nothing you share leaves the room.
Weeks 5–6
A checklist you wrote yourself
Make requests and next steps easy to find, and leave with an editing checklist written across the six weeks.
Starts 1 Dec · Intermediate · Hybrid · 6 weeks · €280
After work · Mon–Thu
After work, the rooms stay open until nine.
The workplace groups that meet at six or later: at Northline Central, in the Riverside Room or on a meeting link.
