ACLCA is excited for the opportunity of the following workshop ‘Report writing for contaminated land professionals 101’
This training is designed for new and early career professionals, and anyone looking to refine their report writing skills. The aim is to equip you with the skills and knowledge necessary to craft high-quality reports. Our clients depend on our reports for regulatory, legal, corporate, and social and environmental responsibilities, so it’s crucial that they are accurate, objective, clear, concise, and tailored to specific needs.
Discover the different types of reports you’ll be preparing as a contaminated land professional. Gain insights into how to effectively plan and structure your reports, and how to create a logical flow that enhances readability and ensures your client can easily navigate through the content. Are templates friends or foes? What about checklists? Clarify the purpose and proper use of assumptions, disclaimers, and limitations in your reports. We will cover all the essential items that should be in our reports and the red flags for the items that should not!
By the end of this training, you’ll be well-prepared to produce reports that not only fulfill your clients’ obligations but also stand out for their quality and clarity. Join us to master the art of report writing and make your mark as a skilled contaminated land professional!
