Student Experience

Learn the basics of technical documentation

Students in the Technical Writer program at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Canada build on their writing skills to learn the basics of technical documentation, including the ability to produce documentation that meets the needs of businesses and their clients. Students learn through practical exercises, small group projects, collaborative activities, and a practical workplace assignment. In past years, students have come to our program with degrees and diplomas in English, history, psychology, political science, professional writing, computer science, business, and radio broadcasting. Some have even arrived with significant work experience in industry and government.
