    Learn principles of technical writing and editing to build for yourself a great writing career that pays well.

    Technical writing has consistently been selected over the years as one of the "100 Best Jobs" in America. It performs an important support function in many sectors and provides a stable and consistent way to earn a good living.

    Technical writers in the USA made an average of $67,910 a year, according to the latest available STC (Society for Technical Communication) Salary Data (2012).

    Again according to the same STC survey, the top 10% of technical writers in the U.S. made an average of $101,660 in 2012. According to glassdoor-dot-com, top-earning tech writers at companies like Google make as much as $165,000 a year.

    Obviously this course alone cannot guarantee that you will find a lucrative job right away but you will learn how to create your first technical document which you can use in applying for a technical writing position.

    IMPORTANT: In this course you'll have the chance to complete a final assignment which will be reviewed personally by your instructor. You will receive a written review of your document with improvement ideas to maximize your chances in this steadily growing and exciting writing niche.

    The course has all the materials you'll ever need, including hours of videos, PDF documents, and complimentary ebooks.

    It will take about six to eight weeks from start to finish if you spend 15-20 min a day.

    The course takes you from the basic principles of good technical writing and covers many other topics including:

    • components of technical documents,
    • how to create a MS Word document template,
    • how to write procedural descriptions properly,
    • how to create tables,
    • how to convert text and information into tables,
    • main types of images used in technical writing,
    • and much more.

I took this course to help with job responsibilities, but I wish I took this course in High School. I could have used the material from then and into the Future!
