Throughout the two days training, the participants discovered that what a report is, why it is important to write or present reports, different types of reports, qualities of good reports, and the common mistakes in report writing. Similarly, the participants got familiar with the steps of writing a complete report (e.g. identifying a problem, data vs. knowledge, data vs. information, and data collection techniques.)

The participants also got information about data analysis and creating data graphs, planning a report, organizing the information, choosing the report format, report writing format, practicing, and report sample. Moreover, the participants learnt practically about punctuation and capitalization rules, formatting and style, the seven Cs in writing, ethics of report writing, and reporting presentation.
