Too often, technical reports include a mishmash of information that leads readers to an incorrect conclusion and that can make reading difficult, if not impossible. Our customized technical report writing course teaches your team strategies to write concise, readable, and usable technical reports that are succinct, reader-friendly (regardless of whether the reader is technical), and that include the appropriate type and amount of information. Whether your team writes technical reports for lay readers, experts, or someone in between, our "Technical Reports Writing" course can ensure they know how to plan, write, and revise an effective technical report.
