Technical and professional writers put scientific and technical information into easily understandable language. They prepare scientific and technical reports, operating and maintenance manuals, catalogues, assembly instructions, sales promotion materials and project proposals. They also plan and edit technical reports and oversee preparation of illustrations, photographs, diagrams, and charts. They impart research findings for scientific or medical professions, organize information for advertising or public relations needs, and interpret data and other information for a general readership.
Glendon's Certificate in Technical & Professional Writing teaches people to transform information into words that others can understand. You will develop a clear understanding of what helps and what interferes with communication.
The certificate program is offered on a part-time basis and all courses are offered in the evening, so you can work while completing the certificate. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
