Congratulations! You've been selected to write the user manual for your company’s next big software release. And following that, you've been invited to write the script for the company’s Employee Benefits portal and eLearning lessons.

What's that you say? It’s been a while since you had to write at such a granular level? Maybe you think your writing could be better? Or perhaps, like many tasked with writing training materials and scripts or user documentation, writing qualifies as "other duties as assigned."

This live, interactive writing course is designed for you. Think of it as an intensive retreat that will give the jump-start you need to create clear, concise step-by-step documentation that effectively educates and motivates adult learners.

Created in response to inquiries by IconLogic’s audience (including former students), this course quickly gets your writing compass pointed in the most productive direction. Whether you’re writing technical documentation, training curriculum and materials, or eLearning scripts, this intensive course delivers instruction and practical experience on critical topics including:

  • the writing process and structure
  • identifying and thinking like your audience
  • facilitating the conversation between SME’s and the reader
  • promoting the “WOW” factor
  • keeping "the voice" active, accurate... and short
  • avoiding common grammar mistakes
  • identifying and eliminating deadwood
  • writing narratives that will "hook" your audience
  • writing step-by-step procedures that make the most of the learner's time and effort

This course is 100% interactive. Participants will use their word processor during class to write narratives and step-by-step documentation. At the completion of each lesson, all participants engage in lively discussion that further teaches and reinforces effective technical writing habits and techniques.

Class Price: $300 per person.
