Are these courses for me?
They’ve aimed these courses at people in the following roles:
- professional software engineers
- computer science students
- engineering-adjacent roles, such as product managers
You need at least a little writing proficiency in English, but you don’t need to be a strong writer to take these courses.
You will find these courses easier to understand if you have at least a little background in coding, though you don’t need to be an expert coder.
These courses focus on technical writing, not on general English writing or business writing.
What format do these courses take?
Technical Writing One and Technical Writing Two consist of two parts:
- pre-class lessons
- in-class lessons with a facilitator and other students
The pre-class lessons provide a solid educational experience, which the in-class lessons enhance. That said, the pre-class lessons on their own are still valuable.
