Technical Writing

Write complex information clearly.

Meet the challenge of communicating complex information

Do you write about technical topics? Do you need to explain or describe something but wonder how to do that in a clear and reader-friendly way? In this workshop you’ll learn practical skills about how to clarify the complex, engage readers, and deliver the results you want.

What our clients say

I was just explaining to my manager that I’ve gained techniques I can apply immediately to improve my writing. The one-day workshop has neatly crystalised what I can do to level-up my work and make it more accessible and more enjoyable to read (and write!). I have a demanding role and taking a day out for development is a big investment, but one that I feel I got a great return on.

I found the workshop really helped me understand how to write clearly in plain English and how to adapt technical structures. The pace and structure of the workshop were good for learning, with clear explanations, examples and activities. I found it useful to apply the techniques to my own work and the work of others.

This is a great course for not only technical writing, but how to make writing clear and concise in general. It’ll help you in everything as small as an email to as large as a thesis!
