COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using “MS Office” applications. 
Reports play an important part in the life of a professional engineer: they are a link between writer, colleagues and clients world-wide. Writing, reading and using reports occupies a considerable proportion of working time, particularly for senior staff. Yet many engineers lack confidence in their report writing skills, and feel that their professional credibility suffers because their reports are not a fair reflection of their expertise. 
This course analyses report preparation from the earliest stages of identifying the reader and the objectives to the effective presentation of the complete document. It is a highly practical course, giving delegates the opportunity to analyze technical writing in terms of style and grammar, and to assess their own and their company’s policy for the revision and checking of documents before they are issued. Methods of structuring report material are suggested and practiced, and an exercise completed at the end of each day is reviewed by the tutor and discussed in detail on the next day.
