We’re Running out of Tech Writers!

Nowadays, companies send work overseas or just do not hire any new employees. But when they want to ship out a new product (software application, piece of equipment), they need a Technical Writer to prepare instructions for use.

Many of the technical writers we have placed in the past have retired. To get a job as a Technical Writer, you must have sample manuals to show. You can learn the special style tech writers use by taking our online course, ‘How to Do Tech Writing,’ and try your hand at writing user instructions. Our course prepares you to deliver the kind of instructions employers want to see, and guides you through producing two such manuals yourself.

We have found, trained, and placed technical writers nation wide for over 15 years. We know what good instructions for use look like, and we show you how to write high-quality directions. You work at your own pace, at a time of your choosing, on your own computer using Microsoft Word. Plus, our editors show you how to correct any mistakes you make when you write English. Students for whom English is a second language find this ‘fine-tuning’ of their writing very valuable.

Eventually, when they have written several Help files or manuals, experienced technical writers can work from home. Get the portfolio of samples you need to break into this lucrative career. Sign up now.

What Does It Cost?

You get a password into eight modules containing all of the best practices the very best tech writers follow for only $285. This price includes our editing service on two sample manuals.

We also provide you a template that helps you write good-looking manuals, and a self-editing checklist that you can use to self-check any manuals you write now and in the future.

Why This Online Course?

Back in the late 90s, our Tech Writer placement Agency had 100s of orders to fill, and not enough experienced writers to fill them. We started the first-ever private vocational school for technical writing, the Webster Institute. Over five years, we perfected a curriculum that turned almost 400 teachers, social workers, travel agents, anyone with a B.A. or a B.S., into top notch tech writers. Many of our graduates still work in the field, some as Tech. Pubs. managers now.

We converted that proven path to writing high quality manuals into our on-line course.
