This course provides a thorough grounding in essential technical writing principles, writing styles and practices. It is ideal for career technical authors and technical writers who want to improve their skill set and the quality and effectiveness of the documentation they produce. Effective technical writing is a critical component of clear and concise communication.

(The set of 'levels of edit' in this course form an 'off-the-shelf' complete editorial process for your business.) • Develop a clear writing style; • Build effective sentences, paragraphs and sections; • Give editorial feedback that helps your team improve their performance. The course is practical and 'activity-based'. Throughout the course you perform extensive exercises to gain experience in the techniques taught.
