The seminars range from a half day (4 hours) to two days (16 hours); however, depending on your need, we can customize the seminar's time to fit your schedule or objective. For example, you may want one full day of Effective Business Writing or Effective Technical Writing rather than two full days. Or, you may want 8 hours of instruction spread over two days. We can entertain these options as well as others.
