T
he English Department at Louisiana Tech University offers a Certificate in Technical Writing and Communication that you can complete entirely online. This certificate documents the advanced oral and written communication skills that so many employers desire today, and our web-based presentation means you can participate from almost anywhere.
Training in technical writing and communication will help you write better, whether the format is a memo, business letter, technical report, or proposal. You will be more able to create clear and logically organized training materials. In addition, this level of training in technical writing and communication will help you evaluate all your documents for clarity and usability.
This graduate certificate in technical writing and communication offers benefits to people in many fields, including business, aviation, engineering, social work, language, and education. You could use the knowledge you gain from this program if any of these descriptions apply to you:
- current graduate students in English or another language who are concentrating in literature but would like to document their technical writing skills;
- graduate students in other disciplines who want documentation of the "demonstrated oral and written communication skills" so often requested in job advertisements;
- people in the workforce who seek additional skills to increase their chances of advancement; and
- people not yet in the workforce who seek to increase their potential salaries and employability and by earning valuable skills such as technical writing skills.
If you are in one of the last two groups, you may also be attracted to the program because the web-based presentation allows you to participate from home or work. Those already employed or living outside Ruston do not need to make special scheduling or travel arrangements.
Many former participants in Louisiana Tech's e-certificate in technical writing and communication program have already seen benefits. If you would like to learn more, click the links to the left.
