The Basic Technical Writing Certificate consists of three courses that have been developed for those entering into the field for the first time or those in the downsized IT industry. The Certificate in Technical Writing program is Instructor-Led, meaning you learn from highly qualified industry and tech writing university faculty. Now in its 15th year, our program has been designed for those who lack sufficient experience in the field or those who want to enhance existing careers in technical writing or move in a new direction within the corporate workplace.
The certificate is specifically focused on the following:
- Those who aspire to develop their technical language and communication skills
- Those who need to update their knowledge and skills
- Those who need preparation for teaching professional communication
- Those who must prepare and deliver training for their companies
- Those who aspire to advance in documentation and other technical communication positions
- Those who seek a verifiable Certificate Credential from an accredited university
