Past delegates' comments about technical writing training courses

“Every aspect of the Introduction to Technical Authoring course was most helpful, especially the help and guidance of the trainer. I have been in contact with him since and he has been of the utmost help to me.”

“Thought I'd send you a quick mail to say thanks for a very enjoyable training course. I can honestly say the course was one of the best I've been on and I feel much more confident in my role as a technical author. Thanks again.”

“The Advanced Technical Authoring course was the best course I have been on and the only one where the accompanying documents will be referred to regularly. Many thanks.”

“The most helpful things about the course were the trainer's speed and awareness of trainees' progress and also his ability to add extra teaching components into the curriculum as necessary.”

“This was a well planned and delivered course by a knowledgable and approachable trainer. The content was extremely useful and left me wanting to put what I had learned into practice straight away! Many thanks for another first class training course.”

“More information was given than expected in more areas than expected - all very useful.”

“As the trainer had a great breadth of experience in the profession he was able to give us many handy tips and tricks. He was very willing to help us as well - he reviewed my documents which was of great use to me.”

“I've really enjoyed the course. The trainer is well informed and very good at presenting the information in an understandable format. I certainly feel a lot more confident in writing effective technical documents now. Many thanks all round.”

“The Online help development course works well with the Introduction to Robohelp course as it introduces the terminology used within online help.”
