Technical documents such as CAPAs, SOPs, work aids, audit findings, audit reports and validation documentation are an integral part of regulatory compliance, produced on a near daily basis.
Technical writing is an often overlooked skill. Great technical writing helps readers understand complex documents quickly and clearly. Poor technical writing can obfuscate, confuse and irritate.
This course provides Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) such as engineers, scientists, and technical professionals with the knowledge and skills to make their technical documentation accurate, brief, clear, complete and, above all, useful.
Applying this knowledge can help avoid stressful situations when, for example, your technical documents are reviewed by external auditors (we know from experience!)
On completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles of effective technical writing
- Know how to structure the process: the writer, the reader and the information
- Understand how to select relevant information
- Know the most effective use of each report section
- Understand how to employ diagrams, tables, charts, and other graphical tools effectively
- Know how to use punctuation correctly
- Know how to avoid the most common grammatical errors
Those who would like to gain confidence when writing technical documentation.
