Brushing Up on Punctuation

Whether you write for business or academic purposes, correct punctuation makes your writing clearer, more professional, and ensures readers get your point right away. If you have ever second-guessed a comma or stared blankly at a semicolon, now is the perfect time to improve your use of punctuation.

In our Brushing Up on Punctuation course, we guide you step-by-step through the basic rules you use every day, and then move on to punctuation that’s often misused. The program is suitable for professionals polishing their workplace communication, and for students completing secondary or tertiary education programs.

This online course includes optional support, so you can reach out to your instructor whenever you need help.
