Technical Writing Certificate

Program 08381

Ever wonder who writes all those technical articles, sets of instructions, training manuals and websites? Technical writers are the people who are responsible for these and many other types of documents produced by organizations. If you are looking for a new career, or if you want to develop your writing skills, or if you are just interested in producing technical documents, consider this program.

The program's success is due to the active involvement of its Advisory Committee made up of industry experts who help us continuously improve the program design and content. Humber's courses are taught by senior-level technical writers who know what is expected in the field, and will guide you from the basics to expert-level writing.

What to Expect
Each course in the online program has a critical-path agenda to follow to meet assignment and quiz deadlines. Students work at their own pace during the week, and are required to participate in a weekly one-hour, live-chat session on the specified scheduled date (held in the evening from either 7 to 8 p.m. or 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time). For example, if the class is scheduled to start on a Tuesday, students participate in the chat session each Tuesday night. Students should also be prepared to spend an additional two to six hours each week on readings and assignments.
