NATO Writing Strategies
The NATO Writing Strategies Course is a fully online course for current or future staff officers designed to develop their work-related writing skills and to familiarize them with strategies for producing written documents and correspondence in accordance with NATO conventions. The four-week/30-hour course includes online synchronous sessions and asynchronous assignments, as well as online conferencing for providing participants with individualized feedback on their writing.
