This workshop dispels the mystique surrounding policies and procedures and is especially useful for individuals with little experience in developing policies or procedures. Participants critique samples, explore checklists, discuss scenarios and issues of concern, and practise writing sections of policies and procedures.
Does the thought of taking minutes at a meeting overwhelm you? Have you ever read the minutes of a meeting that you attended and found that they did not correspond to your memory of what actually happened? Neither of these experiences is unusual. In this one-day workshop, participants will learn how to record minutes accurately and to maintain a balance between brevity and sufficient data so readers are well-informed but not overloaded with information. The workshop will also spend some time on agenda preparation.
A good technical document isn’t necessarily one that’s well written or highly polished: it’s one that works. Often, the task of writing technical documents falls to those whose main job is not writing, yet nowhere are clarity, precision, and absolute accuracy more important than when conveying technical information. This two-day workshop will teach you how to apply an effective process of planning, drafting, and editing to create excellent technical documents of any length, from memo to extended report.

People don’t read web sites: they scan them. You have only a few seconds to get their attention and direct them to the information they are looking for. If they find it, they expect solid content delivered clearly and efficiently. If they don’t find information quickly or if they encounter boggy writing, they will leave and probably not come back. It is the technical web designer’s job to build in good navigation and provide clean page design, but you, as a writer, can support the web designer’s goals with excellent web writing.
