This online course covers how technical communicators can use Generative Artificial Intelligence to help them:
Be more efficient
Create better deliverables for their users
We went through all the key stages in a technical writing project. At each step, we investigated whether AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude could make a Technical Writer's job easier and better. After a lot of research and testing, we ended up with the content for this course.
The course provides a framework that attendees can use to identify opportunities and best practices for integrating ChatGPT, Claude, LLaMA, and similar tools into their technical authoring processes – creating, managing, and delivering technical content.

Why attend this course?
Integrating AI and natural language processing technologies promise to make Technical Writers more efficient and more effective at what they do.
By attending this course, you’ll gain a better understanding of how generative AI can be used by technical communicators. You learn a framework you can use for using tools such as ChatGPT at the different stages of a technical writing project.
Who is this course for?
This course is for people who have some experience of technical writing, and who want to improve their skills.
What will I learn?
You’ll learn and practice:
What are AI technologies and their relevance to technical writing?
Career opportunities and threats
How you can use AI at different stages of the documentation process. We cover topics such as planning, writing, reviewing, and production.
How to work more efficiently.
How to work more effectively.
The course does not go into much detail about using generative AI to create images, audio or videos.
Learning Materials
The course comprises online training modules (4.75 hours of video, plus handouts), which you can complete at your own pace. The course modules are delivered over the Web in small, manageable video presentations. You can pause the videos at any time and return to the course at times that suit you.
The course is roughly equivalent to a 1.5 days long classroom course.
Examples
The modules describe practical examples and techniques you can use right away.
Demonstrations
The modules contain demonstrations of the techniques and tools when they’re applied to technical writing.

Comments from delegates
There is something new to learn for most technical authors who are in the early stages of their career. Overall, I would say that the course did benefit me, and I can see myself revisiting parts of it in the future.
Emma W., ARM plc
I attended a job interview which included a written exercise where I had to jot down how I would go about designing and presenting information for the users of the service unit I was applying to. I could not believe my luck, it was as if the interviewer had designed it with the contents of this course in mind, and, as a result, I got the job!
Amber A.
I thought it was an excellent course – very thought-provoking and useful. The exercises were enjoyable and really helped, far beyond simply reading from a book about the tasks involved in the job. And I greatly appreciate all your advice and support.
Karl D.
Thank you very much for all your feed-back – I’ve been reading through this as it has come in this morning. This is really useful and very much appreciated.

The information may be presented in the form of user guides for software applications, reference and instruction manuals for appliances, training guides, instructional videos or online help incorporated into software and operating guides.

Learn the fundamentals of writing UI text for an application





UX writing and UI text are becoming more important within software and websites, particularly as Web-based software applications and mobile apps increase. This can lead to a need for the UX, marketing and technical writing teams to communicate in a common language and to establish common goals, strategies, metrics and vision.
