What can you do to prepare?

Along with signing up for The Learning Institute’s specialised ICFE course training, students can begin to practice writing both letters and financial reports focusing on arranging their thoughts into clear paragraphs and covering all the necessary details within a specified word limit. In order to help with the style and format of letters and reports students can read existing documents both on the internet and from other sources.
