Award-Winning Production Quality & Tons of Resources

“I love the efficient presentation method.” Dario D.

“I like how Eazl fits very important discussions into small chunks of video… I believe that this helps me absorb the information and stay more alert than a traditional, long tutorial video might.” – Robert B.

In this course, you will learn how to:

  • write impactful sentences

Justin, an Eazl student, said he thought the interviews were “awesome” in his five star review of Eazl’s courseware.

Become an Eazl Scholar and Prove Your Skills to Employers and Clients (Optional)

In order for your continuing education efforts to be meaningful, you need to begin focusing more on exercising and proving your skills.

If you choose to pursue scholarship through Eazl, you can optionally earn verifiable Skills Badges, which will enable you to prove your skills to employers and/or clients. You can learn more about this opportunity through links in the course.

LinkedIn recently used their massive amount of data to find the most in-demand soft skills in the world, and they found that persuasion and collaboration are 2 of the top 3 most in-demand skills. You’ll develop those skills and many other communication-related skills in this course.

  • If you’re a student or someone who’s self-employed, you’ll love this course. For example, Maran B. said that, “As a student and stay-at-home mom looking to get back into the workforce after a few years, this course really helped me.“

  • If you’re an employer, having one of your employees take this class is a great way to affordably skill up your team--Tesla, Apple, and the World Bank are just a few of the employers that already use Eazl Courseware.

  • If you’re a non-native English speaker, you’ll love this course. For example, Sirin T. told said that, “as a German college student, I really suffer from not having enough hands on information to know about how companies actually work.” in his five star review of Eazl courseware.

By Lucky Oyakhire on 7/11/2022

Though I love the use of visualization and images for the course, which makes the teachings captivating, however, I feel a lot of time is spent on theoretical rather than showcasing practical examples. As a writer, sometimes your mind is filled with loads of information you want to pour out at a go! It would have been helpful if there was a part of the course where it shows how you can arrange your write-ups to capture and separate the different types of messages, i.e. controlling, subject, key, etc.

By Mark Chaffe on 12/4/2020

More interesting tips by this point. Starting to learn things that I don't remember from High School English class.

By Rachana Gupta on 11/12/2020

An effective course for learning Business Writing, with the Pyramid Technique being used. Great for those who learn better through visual aids like animations and sound effects, as also those who learn by doing. Many of the resources (such as outlines) that are provided within the course are helpful for future use and reference too. I took this course to better my outlining and structuring in market research reports, and it has been very beneficial. Thank you Eazl!

By Richard Michael Lunel on 6/12/2020

Davis and the team have done it again. fabulous course content and delivered well. There were a lot of takeaways from the course. I am getting addicted to learning with Eazl! Thank you Team Eazl.

By Simon R on 6/7/2020

Good resources supplied and like the structure so far. A much-needed refresher for me at this stage in my career and business. Writing business reports, case-studies, and documentation doesn't need to be boring I have learnt, this course is giving me the inspiration to write more and write more creatively.

By Ana M. on 5/30/2020

This is a course that anybody who needs to write literally anything should take. Even writing an email will be faster after learning these useful tips and tricks. And, not to mention you will have amazing instructor! This is my third course with Eazl and I know I get only the best from Davis and his team.

By Phiwa on 5/26/2020

i am looking for practical examples and have not seen them yet in the course.

By Darryl Aho on 5/21/2020

I might not be a pro yet, but I've gained some incredible new skills. Perhaps, like me, you want course content that is useful and engaging and helps you develop as a credible and trustworthy writer. This course offers useful tools and techniques to help me write persuasively: • make every word support my message, • format compelling titles, • organize ideas to impact readers, • advance from drafting to editing. I found out how a single method offers virtually unlimited potential for different types of writing, whether it be white papers, memos, reports, event descriptions, or any other kind of business writing. It's a method that helps me communicate my controlling and key messages with clarity, so my readers aren't confused. What's more, I discovered how to ignite the "lightsaber of the internet" and make my online search results precise, which is a real time saver. Plus, it's beneficial to listen to professional voices from the writing industry to gain valuable advice and precious insights from them. I'm pleased with the positive impact on my writing, and I'm confident you will be too.

By Saket Bansal on 5/9/2020

This course contains all the tools and knowledge base required to achieve an accepted and logical business writing. This is done through detailed research and strategically converting into learning content. Go Team EAZL!

By Enoch Agbona on 5/8/2020

This course is totally invaluable. The messages come alive with the animations and the facilitator demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the topics as a subject matter expert. I recommend this course to individuals, professionals and organisations, on business writing.
