About this course
Technical writing is a useful career to explore if you enjoy helping people understand information and complete tasks. Leigh Hartzman introduces the work through its readers, documents, collaborators and day-to-day responsibilities, rather than assuming it is simply another name for writing software manuals.
The short introductory lessons discuss knowledge bases, product learning materials and internal documentation. The course also highlights the information-gathering and collaboration involved, while a longer webinar addresses project work, deadlines and expectations within an organization.

Some promotional employment statistics and technology forecasts in the source description are historical. They are not treated here as current hiring evidence or a promise of work. After using the course to understand the profession, continue with instruction-writing practice and feedback on actual documents.
