“Writing to Get Things Done®” COURSE EARNS E-LEARNING CERTIFICATION FROM ASTD CERTIFICATION INSTITUTE
Minneapolis, MN, July 11, 2008 – Berry Writing Group, Inc. is pleased to announce that Writing to Get Things Done has been awarded the prestigious E-Learning Courseware Certification (ECC) by the ASTD (American Society for Training & Development) Certification Institute.
Over 55,000 people have benefited from Stan Berry’s live writing seminars. Now conveniently available online, this course teaches employees to use e-mail as an effective tool for getting things done.
The real power of Writing to Get Things Done is that people learn to communicate exactly what needs to get done and when, so recipients are not left guessing. Employees get to the point quickly, clearly, and concisely, which makes e-mail in-baskets manageable!
The certification was awarded to Writing to Get Things Done® after a rigorous evaluation of the course’s usability and instructional design. The certification indicates that the courseware demonstrates the characteristics associated with excellent instruction. More information about Writing to Get Things Done® including a free preview, can be found at BerryWritingGroup.com.
Berry Writing Group president, Stan Berry said, “After spending 33 years refining the course and 12 months developing the online version, I can’t tell you how much this certification means to me. We have the world’s first and only certified writing course. I began developing with this course with my dad in the ‘70’s. I know he would be proud of our work.”
The mission of Berry Writing Group is to create excellence in organizations and increase an employee’s value as we teach the writing skills necessary to get things done. We do this by helping employees tie action items to a deadline. Less than 1% of corporate e-mails do this.
