Summary

We have designed this practical course to support anyone needing to create, compile, edit or manage technical documents.

Anyone involved in technical work will quickly discover the challenges presented when trying to communicate their ideas, information, proposals or recommendations to others. All too often, the impact of many hours of work can hinge on the ability to explain the results quickly and effectively to others.

This practical, one-day course is designed to present the key principles of technical document creation and explain how to make the task as simple as possible using tools and techniques to improve the quality and reduce the time needed to produce effective technical documents.

Verified by an engineer, Jacob Holt, EngTech MIMechE
"I could get information down, but the structure was taking so much time and I needed to consider the objectives of the reader a lot more. My writing is more concise and the whole process is much slicker than before."
