Technical Writing Skills
Course Objectives
This comprehensive two day course is an essential programme for individuals that write technical documents.
Your technical team’s expert knowledge is largely wasted if it can’t be properly communicated. Oftentimes, technical people are so passionate and close to their subject that they lose sight of who will read what they’ve written and what their level of knowledge is. This technical-writing course is aimed specifically at bridging that communication gap.
