This programme makes the course accessible to those who would not usually have the opportunity to attend the face-to-face training and has the added advantage of direct, one-to-one feedback and guidance. What is it and Who is it For? The Reporting Skills and Professional Writing DTP is a 5-module Distance Training Programme for development professionals whose work requires creating persuasive and action-focused reports. As this covers nearly everyone - as is witnessed by the number of job descriptions which read 'effective reporting skills needed' - the range of participants can vary enormously, from field workers who conduct regular monitoring and evaluation of projects to senior staff of international organisations accountable to donors and decision makers. Most people benefit from attending a face-to-face training, but such courses are often hard to find, and there can be time and travel constraints. Although our course has since been developed into a hugely popular self-study programme, many people still want the feedback and guidance that comes through interaction with a tutor without the need for the time commitment and expense of an intensive training programme. In response to this, we offer our Reporting Skills programme for distance learners, so if you are a busy manager with no opportunity to attend a 5-day training, and what more than just a 'how to' manual, this is for you. Course Objectives During this programme participants learn the process of reporting and how to: Set evaluation goals Select data gathering methods Analyse qualitative and quantitative data Plan the report Write more clearly and organise their ideas and analysis effectively Methods The training is conducted by 100% Distance Training. On being accepted, participants receive all course modules immediately by email. Each module contains inputs (theory and examples) and controlled practical work (short tasks and discussion points), as well as a hand-in assignment to be returned by a preset deadline. These assignments are returned to participants from their tutors with comments and feedback. At the end of the programme a final, extended hand-in assignment is submitted. Each hand-in assignment contributes towards the overall grade, and at the end of the programme a certificate is mailed with a full transcript of work covered and Personal Performance Evaluation. During the programme, participants also have the opportunity to pose course-related questions. Course Contents The core modules are as follows: Module One: Course Introduction & Introduction to Professional Writing Module Two: Setting Evaluation Objectives & Making a Research Plan Module Three: Data Analysis & Report Planning Module Four: Writing Skills: Clarity & Organisation Module Five: Style, Design & Editing Skills How to Apply?
