An effective business report captures and provides the right level of information on findings or projects accurately and logically. 

Report Writing for Technical Professionals is designed to help technical professionals improve report writing skills, sharpen up and deliver reports that are concise, logical and persuasive. One thing is for sure, the more effective reports are, the greater the chances for a successful outcome. 

Technical writing involves the ability to understand technical language as well as being able to express that knowledge in a clear, concise, and coherent manner. Our two day report writing course is extremely practical giving participants the opportunity to analyse technical writing in terms of language, grammar and style. 

Participants will have to identify three things they can implement in their workplace immediately upon their return. They will be encouraged to discuss these with their Managers or Supervisors when they get back to work.
