This course is ideal for you if you need to: Create end-user documentation and other forms of instructional content with ease Master the fundamentals of technical writing Get a solid understanding of the Technical Author’s role. What is a Technical Author or a Technical Writer? Technical Authors are sometimes known as: Technical Communicators, Technical Writers, Content Developers, Information Developers and Documentarians. From prospects.ac.uk: Technical Authors communicate specialist information about how products and services work and how they can be applied or used in a way that's easy to understand. 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. For a successful career as a Technical Author you'll need to be a fast learner, with excellent communication skills and the ability to convey factual information clearly and concisely. The work is often varied, interesting and rewarding. 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. David H. What will I learn? In this course, we’ll take you through the process of creating technical documentation. You’ll learn and practise: The purpose and value of technical documentation (aka having an answer if people ask why you should be doing this work). The entire documentation process. We’ll explain what you need to do, from beginning to end. We cover planning, writing, editing, indexing, and production. The skills you need as a technical communicator. How to work more efficiently. This framework will help you avoid wasting time. How to work more effectively. We’ll show you how to write and design your information in a structured, useful, usable and informed way. What the course does not cover We don’t like to overhype our courses, so here are some reasons why not to get our technical writing training course. Those are: If you have requirements for your documents to meet specific regulatory documentation standards in these industry sectors: aerospace, military, railway, or automotive. Where documentation must be written to a specific XML standard. (You’ll need to take our DITA module in our advanced course as well). If you need to write technical API documentation for developers. (You’ll need to take our API module in our advanced course as well). Apart from that, this course will help you create the user assistance for your application or product. Duration and delivery format Learning Materials The course comprises 15 modules in total, 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. These are full of practical examples and techniques you can use right away. You can download the course handouts as Word or PDF files. Your project You’ll be given a project to work on throughout the course. This is a great way to put your learning to practice. Feedback You’ll also have option of getting feedback on your exercises from an instructor. Duration With the time needed to complete the exercises, you will need to allocate around two days in order to complete the course. You can spread this time over a few days, weeks or months.

HOW TO USE A SEWING MACHINE

By Fashion Rebellion

Do you want to learn to use a sewing machine but don’t know where to start? YOUR SEWING JOURNEY STARTS HERE I’ve been teaching complete beginners to sew since 2009 LEARN A LIFE-SKILL, SAVE MONEY & BOOST FEELINGS OF WELLBEING I’ve created an online video course based on my successful classes running since 2009 using the easiest-to-follow methods. It’s been tried & tested by children as young as 8 years old for a whole year….They LOVED it & we guarantee you will too! THIS COURSE IS FOR ANYONE AGED 10-100 YEARS If you’re a beginner your age doesn’t matter! Both children & adults have used this course with ease. In fact the kids are often quicker learners! ✂️ THINKING ABOUT BUYING A SEWING MACHINE? My advice is to buy BASIC. No whistles & bells!  As long as the machine can do a straight stitch & a zig zag stitch that’s all you’ll need. Most machines have a few embroidery stitches too.  Avoid toy machines & go for the most basic version of a good brand.   USING OUR HANDS CREATIVELY IS PROVEN TO MAKE US 🖐✂️🧵😃 FEEL HAPPY 😃🧵✂️🖐 You can do everything you need on a basic machine including free style embroyery Amanda Recommends… WHAT YOU’LL LEARN BLOCK 1 - FIRST THINGS FIRST ✔️Let’s look at a sewing machine ✔️Speed control & turning corners ✔️How to sew a seam ✔️How to pin, cut & place a template BLOCK 2 - THREADING UP ✔️Winding a bobbin ✔️The top thread-up ✔️Inserting a bobbin on top loaders  ✔️Inserting a bobbin on front loaders BLOCK 3 - SEW A SUNGLASSES CASE ✔️Practise what you’ve learned & achieve your first little project make ✔️Learn all about backstitch & why it’s important BLOCK 4 - ALL THE HELP YOU'LL NEED ✔️How to solve stitching issues ✔️Choosing & changing needles ✔️Getting unstuck ✔️Looking after your machine LEARNING TO SEW HAS COUNTLESS BENEFITS….. Sewing helps to extend focus & concentration. As we must concentrate for longer periods of time. It’s great for those who struggle to stay focused. It reduces time spent on social media. Instead of scrolling we use our hands creatively making. Sewing promotes good mental health. It increases self-esteem through empowerment & creativity. It makes us happy! Dexterity & hand strength improve. Cutting, pinning & making are ways of strengthening hands our tools for life! We help to save the planet by extending the life of clothes. Clothing won’t end up in landfill if we upcycle it. Extending the life of clothes by 9 months reduces their carbon footprint by 20-30% It teaches us how to save money. It’s a useful life-skill we can use to alter, update, customise, remake or repair instead of buying new things. It’s such a great feeling to be able to say “ I made it myself” WHAT DO I NEED? Not that much!  You’ve probably got most things at home already. ✂️🧵📍✏️🎧👖📄📏 You can learn at your own speed at home or sew with your friends It’s much cheaper than attending classes MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR…..AMANDA RILEY  Amanda Riley is a Fashion Designer & environmentalist. She has been teaching complete beginners the art of diy fashion and eco-sewing since 2009. After realising the horrendous environmental impact of fashion she started her masterclass workshops at The Fashion Factory, for 8-16 year olds as an antidote to fast fashion.  “ I saw an increase in social media use & the reduction of practical & creative subjects in schools. Many children are missing out on life skills, creativity, dexterity & the ability to focus. I felt I had to do something”  “My eco-sewing programme focuses on learning via upcycling unwanted textiles into cool new stuff. The products & video lessons are designed to keep young people engaged and coming back for more. I’ve ripped up the sewing rule books and introduced a new way of learning this hugely rewarding life skill.”  Her students have appeared in Vogue, in the Fashion Factory book (Amazon) & many have gone on to study for creative careers. She was selected as a top 100 changemaker in 2021 by the Big Issue.
