Customized training to suit your team, needs, and budget...
Training is one of the best investments you can make in your employees. A 2020 study conducted by the University of Würzburg in Germany showed that providing training for employees increases their job satisfaction and loyalty to the company. Training can also promote team building, improve productivity, and solve critical resource shortages.
I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" training. Your writers and editors come from different backgrounds. Your products and services have specific requirements. Your markets demand unique solutions.
All training programs can be customized in length, depth, and amount of feedback. Almost all training programs can be presented as short workshops or longer courses. And almost all can be conducted as frontal (live) in-house training or online courses. Examples and exercises can be generic or based on your own content.
Writing and Editing
All writers struggle with editing content. These courses focus on organizing, simplifying, cleaning up, and restructuring content.
These courses work well with groups and can be combined with a review of your in-house style guide.
Technical Communication Theory
If you have new writers or content developers who have never formally studied TC, these courses cover the building-block basics of the practice of TC.
Using my Golden Rules, I introduce key theory, explain the rationale behind the theory, show real applications and best practices, and give participants and opportunity to apply the concepts.
These courses also include specific types of content, such as writing procedures and explaining technical concepts.
Presentation Skills
Just because you are an expert in your field doesn't mean that you can deliver a good presentation! Learn how to organize your information, pick compelling themes, develop a "hook," and present with confidence.
Participants are videotaped so that they can see themselves and get instant feedback. These courses work best with small groups or as one-on-one coaching.
Management Skills
If you are new to managing a team of writers, you may want to brush up on soft skills such as project planning, scheduling, working with SMEs, running peer reviews, and more.
These courses can be just the boost you need to further your TC career.
TC for Engineers
Your developers and SMEs often have to write English documents as part of their work: specs, design documents, white papers, presentations, reports, and more.
This course teaches non-TC staff the basics of planning and preparing effective documents as part of their work.
Medical Writing
This course is specifically designed for doctors and medical researchers who write research findings, papers, grant applications, and conference presentations. The focus is on presenting data in a clear and compelling manner while meeting professional standards and expectations within the medical industry.
