Training Overview 

This is a two-part training. First part is this Theory workshop, second is a Skills session (one week part). You must complete the theory workshop to be eligible to attend the skills session. You can return to attend any future skills session after completing the two-part training in full. 

After taking the Plain Language Theory Workshop, you will apply what you learnt and submit at least one piece of non-confidential writing (email, document, memo, and so on) to the facilitator before the Skills session to training@stamant.ca. You will receive expectations for the writing piece after your theory workshop. 

All participants will review the submitted documents together, provide each other feedback and have opportunities to ask questions.

In this workshop you can expect lectures, videos, and group discussions. If your session date is online, you must join with a device that has a webcam and microphone. If your session is in person, see the location or your confirmation email for details.
