Technical reports can be very different from business reports. This is a technical report writing course. Most report writing courses are about business reports (click here for our version). The presenter was for many years a Chartered Engineer (CEng), and is a professional trainer and a published writer.COURSE AIM - Technical Report Writing CourseTo help delegates to write shorter and better technical reports and to write them faster. It should also make it easier and faster for line managers to check and approve reports. Quote from a recent client: 'You'll be pleased to know we are regularly benefitting from the (technical report writing) training you provided (six months ago).' IS THERE A TRACK RECORD?There is. The course is now in its 11th year. Tony Atherton designed this technical report writing course and ran it for the first time on 23 May 2001 for a group of engineers at Qinetiq, the defence research organisation. Other clients have included: BP, Thales, EON, Northumbrian Water, Scottish Power, Martin Baker Aircraft, Transport for London, RAF/MOD and many others - more are listed in the column on the right. Technical report writing can be difficult and, frankly, there are some terrible reports around. Frequently, a technical report may be the only 'product' a client ever sees and many line managers have to spend too much time improving technical reports before they can be sent to clients. Nevertheless, writing a good technical report can be made easier. This one-day course, run at your premises usually for groups up to 12 people, will help your delegates to prepare, write and edit good - and more readable - technical reports. It is suitable for those working in any technical environment, including IT departments in non-technical organisations. Tony is a former Chartered Engineer (CEng) and trainer with over 25 years' experience of running training programmes. He was the Training Manager at NTL, a major telecommunications company, for several years and is a published writer with four books and about 90 articles to his name.

COURSE CONTENT - Technical Report Writing CoursesWriting 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 or even some of the illustrations. 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.
