Do you need to write technical documentation at work?

Naturally you do the best you can with your writing. You've probably asked your technical specialists if it's accurate, or you've asked someone to proof check it for you. But is that the best way to go about writing manuals?

Whatever your role at work, you may have been given the task of writing the company's manuals. You might need to write a new manual in a hurry, or update an old one. Or create an online Help Guide. But do you have the skills, the best practices needed to produce a first-class Help Guide or Operating Procedure? Have you had a technical writing course?

– Richard Carver, Offshore Operations Engineer, Perenco, Norfolk.

“I learned a good understanding of the role of a technical author and what I need to plan and consider. The training day was well-presented and kept my interest throughout. Questions were well answered and discussed. The course manual provides good post-course resource and will be a good point of reference when I require tips and advice. It was an excellent course.” – Brian Livingstone, BAE Instrument Landing Systems, Telford.

“The course was well planned with effective communication and presentation. I learned how to minimise my writing style and offer more informative, easy to understand guides. Overall, a very good investment of my time.”
