What is the course

What is the Creating Effective User Manuals programme?

A practical programme for people who document products, systems or procedures for others.

The Creating Effective User Manuals programme helps participants analyse reader tasks, structure a manual for quick finding, write clear procedures, use visuals appropriately and test instructions with users.

UnderstandReaders, tasks and document scope

ApplyStructure, procedures and visuals

ImproveUsability, accuracy and maintenance

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is ideal for many organisations, but may not be the best fit for every situation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Have manuals that readers struggle to use
  • Need consistent instructions across products
  • Need practical documentation training in Indonesia
  • Value accuracy, accessibility and reader testing
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment course
  • You need a highly technical or specialist certification
  • Your group needs a specialist certification in a regulated field
  • You are primarily looking for consultancy rather than training
