Duke Continuing Studies has provided courses and certificate programs to thousands of people annually since 1999. Our Technical Writing program has been in existence for over 15 years and is designed and taught by some of the best in the business, locally anyway! The program meets weekly for five months in our Durham, NC office and teaches the key skills needed to be a technical writer. Students will learn information architecture, information development, essential grammar skills and tools (like MadCap Flare) needed to work in the industry, and will come away with a very well-rounded skillset in Technical Writing.
