New course on writing translatable English

The first course in our all-new Certificate in Technical Writing is here: Writing translatable English.

This course is essential for technical communicators and business writers with an international audience. Massive cost savings and benefits result when content can be understood by foreign audiences and accurately translated by machines such as Google Translate.

Four more technical writing courses will follow to make up the Certificate, which will be CPD accredited. If you have a 1-year subscription, you will automatically get this 5-course Certificate added to your training plan, when it's ready.

You can register for Writing Translatable English right now for US$50

And we liked this recent feedback from Craig Millar, Digital Comms Specialist, Co-operative Bank, UK:

"I enjoyed the writing for the web certificate and found it easy to apply the learnings to my work. I now want all out intranet editors to do this course as it covers all the right topics, in the right level of detail."

Best of luck with the iPad Mini draw!
