Plain Words Certification Programme – the Stamp of Quality

Have you ever read a document written in your company’s name and winced as you spotted a mistake, or simply couldn’t find the information you need? When you receive documents like this, your opinion of the sender’s professional standards drops. Can you afford to have your clients think the same of you?

Plain Words' certification programme recognises the importance of achieving high standards in documentation:

• Through our technical and business writing service;
• By validating and correcting documents written by you;
• By offering training for business professionals who wish to have recognition of their writing skills.

Plain Words certified – our guarantee

We guarantee that all the documents written by us, as part of our managed business and technical writing service:

• Communicate the subject matter clearly and concisely;
• Use terms the readers understand;
• Help readers to find the information they are looking for;
• Are free from grammatical, spelling and punctuation mistakes.

Every document or Help system we create carries the Plain Words Certified stamp. This is our guarantee to you – and it’s free of charge. It also shows readers your commitment to quality documentation that communicates rather than confuses.

Plain Words approved – showing you care

The Plain Words Approved stamp on the front page of your documents shows your readers that you care. Whether you are writing a report, content for your website, a user guide or on-line Help, the Plain Words Approved stamp verifies that the document reaches high standards in readability and clarity.

We will check your document against the Plain Words Principles of Good Writing and edit it where necessary to ensure that it meets the Plain Words Approved standard. And what’s more, we won’t charge you for using the stamp. All you need to do is send us the document in Word™ format and we will return it to you using ‘track changes’ to show our edits.
