We believe that many writers who do have good writing skills are often ineffective when it comes to their technical documents. Our seminar, Technical Writing, has helped thousands of technical writers choose the right information, analyze reader needs, clarify their thoughts, and condense their messages.
This two-day seminar focuses on the technical writer's challenge to synthesize complex information and present it clearly to multiple readers. Participants learn to use a process approach, MAP, to write the following documents:
|
Monthly highlights |
Technical reports |
|
Procedures |
Project plans |
|
Technical memos |
E-mail messages |
A highlight of the seminar for participants is an individual conference to review samples of their on-the-job writing.
