Testimonials
"As a freelance technical communicator I have often used Cherryleaf to help find interesting work, and the technical writing courses the company provides are second to none." Kevin Chilton November 2008
"Your presentation was fantastic - you really addressed what our members were asking to learn. And you made it great fun!" CJ Walker 2009
"You could teach yourself, but some training/consultancy is a good idea, as it's important to get good practice in place from the start. The initial cost pays for itself quickly. We used Cherryleaf to help set this up, and they were excellent."
