Description	Communication is a key aspect of commerce and this Business Communications course will focus on offering you a critical foundation that will allow you to support and sustain organizations.

You may also work with others across local, regional, national and global distances. As such, the course will teach you to communicate and collaborate using traditional means (emails, letters, memos, reports, meetings and presentations) as well as emerging technologies (online meetings, video conferences, web presentations, blogs and social media). You will be challenged with communication activities, using traditional and emerging delivery modes.
