Technical reports can be very different from business reports. This is a course on how to write technical reports. Most report writing courses are about business reports (see the panel to the right for our version). The presenter was for many years a Chartered Engineer (CEng), and is a professional trainer and published writer.Technical report writing can be difficult - but writing a good technical report can be made easier. This one-day course, run at your premises usually for groups up to 12, will help your delegates to prepare, write and edit good - and more readable - technical reports. COURSE AIM - Technical Report Writing Training CourseTo help delegates to write technical reports that are clear, concise and easy for readers to understand and act upon. It covers the principles of preparing, writing and editing technical reports. Organisational benefits include: improved communication and technical reports that are easier and quicker to write, read and understand. This should help to achieve time and financial savings. IS THERE A TRACK RECORD?There is. Tony Atherton first ran a report writing course specifically on Technical Report Writing on 23 May 2001. This was for a group of 16 engineers from Qinetiq, the defence research organisation, and was in response to a request from Reed Training. Since then Tony has presented it, with various modifications, for delegates from a variety of industries including the pharmaceutical, telecommunications, IT, aerospace, petrochemical and construction industries. For example, clients have included: NDS, PTS Consultants, RAF/MOD, Doosan Babcock, Actavis, Vectura, Ineos Silicas, Waterman and many others. It is suitable for those working in any technical or engineering environment, including IT departments in non-technical organisations. It is designed and presented by a former Chartered Engineer (CEng), a trainer who has over 25 years' experience of running training programmes and who was the Training Manager at NTL, a major telecommunications company, for several years. He is also a published writer with four books and about 90 articles to his name. COURSE CONTENT - Technical Report Writing Training CourseWriting for the reader is the 'Golden Rule' in any writing. Many readers of technical reports, such as senior managers or some clients, may not fully understand the technical jargon. They need your technical writing to be as understandable as possible and they probably need far less detail than you have available. Above all, they need to be able to get what they want from your report as quickly, easily and accurately as possible.
