This comprehensive technical-writing training course will help your team communicate their messages clearly, concisely and effectively. We’ll train them to put their conclusions up front, not buried in supporting detail. And we’ll show them how to make their recommendations clear for their intended audience. Above all, we’ll build their confidence and pride in their writing.

We tailor course content using real-life examples of your technical documents, meaning that all the materials will be relevant for your sector, industry and the kinds of documents your team write.

A key feature of this course is that all delegates receive our unique pre-course writing analysis. This covers 15 different areas of writing skills and helps us ensure the training meets the delegates’ precise writing needs, while ensuring delegates make rapid, targeted improvements.

We can run this course remotely online or in person at your workplace or choice of venue.

By the end of their bespoke course, attendees will be able to:

	build a logical structure into any technical document
	make conclusions clear and memorable
	communicate complex information – without dumbing down
	write for their readers, using an appropriate level of language and without getting bogged down in the detail
	present data helpfully, making effective use of graphs, tables, charts and graphics
	write confidently, by being sure of their grammar and punctuation
	build credibility and authority through their writing.
