Course overview

A user manual, technical report or process document needs information readers can understand and find. The programme develops precise, confident technical writing through logical organisation and explanations suited to technical and non-technical audiences. Day 1 follows planning, drafting, revision and editing through a short explanation exercise. Plain-language practice on Day 2 addresses jargon, complexity, active voice and strong verbs, with a complex paragraph rewritten as accessible content.

Organisation helps readers locate information. Document structure on Day 3 includes headings, subheadings and lists, introductions, conclusions and summaries, and an outline for a manual or guide. Visual communication on Day 4 covers diagrams, charts and tables, readability through fonts, spacing and alignment, and Microsoft Visio and Lucidchart for technical visuals. Delegates design a visual to accompany an explanation, then review grammar, punctuation, style, accuracy and consistency through self-editing and constructive peer feedback. Frameworks and resources accompany a workbook with templates and checklists; daily breaks include Q&A and the course closes with improvement plans.
