Course aims:
Technical experts often have to simplify complex topics so that readers with a non-technical background can understand. This highly interactive workshop-style course addresses this challenge and gives technical writers the skills and confidence to transform their writing style so they can communicate with clarity, simplicity, brevity and a personal touch.
All courses are tailor-made for the participants and a sample of writing is requested in advance. During the Writing Clinic session, the trainer works individually on these samples with each participant, to ensure they can successfully apply the techniques they have learnt.
