Course Description
‘It’s no accident I chose to study engineering rather than English literature.’
(Engineer in technical writing workshop)
Effective communication is essential to success in the workplace yet few technically trained people have any training in effective writing techniques. Engineers spend much of their time writing maintenance manuals, assessment reports, specifications and other documents. In addition, most day to day communication is in writing – in the form of emails.
This technical writing workshop is designed specifically for technically trained people. The workshop gives tips, advice and practical assistance on how to improve your writing. General principles of technical writing, which apply to all documents are discussed, as are a few specific documents such as standard operating procedures, specifications and laboratory reports.
Participants are invited (but not obliged) to send samples of their writing ahead of the session. One-on-one feedback sessions are held with those who choose to provide samples.
This workshop can be tailored to meet the needs of your organisation. Any templates used by your organisation may be discussed, and the particular forms of report your employees write can be focused on.
