Technical Writing Fundamentals

The Technical Writing Fundamentals course is designed for those whose jobs involve developing technical documents, such as standard operating procedures, protocols, data analysis reports, proposals, white papers and research papers. Participants will be equipped with the essential skills needed to write clear, concise and correct technical documents to address their readers’ needs.

Participants will learn how to collect information and then select the correct format for delivery based on the topic and the communication goal. Participants will learn how to explain complex information in a way that will engage their readers and with less chance of miscommunication. Program will also focus on how to structure a white paper so that it presents the information in a linear and logical manner that makes readers want to read the document from start to finish.

This course will teach the following topics:

  • Preparing to write
  • Collecting your information
  • Overcoming writer’s block
  • Technical writing formats, including procedures, proposals and white papers
  • Techniques for clear e-mails, agenda and minutes
  • Strengthening your writing
  • Revising your document
  • Improving the visual appeal

Whether it is shortening a training to fit in one day, increasing the curriculum to cover several classes,
or changing the location of the training from here at USI to your location,
we have the training you are looking for to grow your business.
