Corporate Training Providers Editing and Proofreading Services

Corporate training is bought by someone who is not going to attend, delivered to people who did not ask for it, and evaluated by a form handed out while everyone is putting their coats on. The result is an industry where satisfaction scores are high, recall is moderate, and behaviour on the job is largely unchanged — a pattern documented for decades and reproduced every year, because the commercial incentives point at the day itself rather than at what happens in the six weeks afterwards.

We edit what corporate training providers and learning and development teams produce — proposals and responses to training briefs, training needs analysis documentation, programme designs and learning objectives, facilitator guides and session plans, participant workbooks and job aids, pre-work and pre-course communications, manager briefing material, post-course application and follow-up material, evaluation instruments across all levels, case studies and scenario material, e-learning and blended programme content, train-the-trainer material, and reporting to clients on outcomes. Our editors work on the documents that determine whether anything changes after the training day.

Transfer to the job is where the money is either earned or wasted, and the documents that determine it are the least glamorous ones. A well-designed day with no manager briefing sends people back to a line manager who does not know what they learned, cannot reinforce it, and in some cases actively prevents the new behaviour because the process still requires the old one. We write the manager briefing so it names the three behaviours the manager should expect to see, what to ask in the next one-to-one, and what to stop requiring; we write the participant job aid as something usable at the desk in ninety seconds rather than as a summary of the day; we write the pre-work to surface a real problem the participant brings, since a scenario from their own week beats a case study; and we write the follow-up at three and six weeks with a specific prompt rather than a satisfaction reminder. Providers who supply these as part of the programme can report on behaviour rather than on scores, which is what clients renew for.

Everything you send is treated in confidence, including client material, programme design and evaluation data. We are editors rather than learning and development consultants, and we offer no view on programme design, methodology or evaluation findings. What we can do is make the material clear and the documents around the training day actually exist.
