Learn how to create content that helps users solve problems for themselves
Cherryleaf’s Technical Support writing skills course teaches Technical Support staff the key skills of writing content that helps users solve problems for themselves.
You’ll gain confidence you’re approaching each writing project in the right way, and creating content that follows best practice.
Who is this for?
- You are dissatisfied with the performance of their Knowledge Base articles, Help, tutorials and troubleshooting guides. The content isn’t engaging enough for people to read it instead of calling support.
- Lack of time – balancing document writing with support cases.
- Having trouble planning and structuring the content.
- Having to deal with content that overlaps, repeats or contradicts itself.
- No formal system in place to organise content.
- Needing to write more clearly.
- Matching the document content to a range of customers who all have similar, but slightly different, requirements.
What will I learn?
- How to communicate clearly, even if writing doesn’t come naturally
- How to save time and write in an efficient way
- Identifying the best type of format for your content
- Confidence in the work you produce
- Research and analysis
- Revising your work
