What is the course

What is the International Technical Communication programme?

Develop the skills to deliver clear, effective technical communication for international audiences.

The International Technical Communication programme helps participants write plain, precise emails and documents, present technical content to international audiences and recognise cultural differences in directness, hierarchy and feedback. They also learn to prepare text for translation and to collaborate across time zones. The course focuses on communication skills. It is not a general language course and does not provide translation or interpreting.

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:
  • Work with international clients, suppliers or head offices
  • See misunderstandings in emails, meetings or specifications
  • Want a private, tailored training experience
  • Need relevant, Indonesia-based training delivery
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment course
  • You need general English language lessons
  • You need certified translation or interpreting services
  • You are primarily looking for consultancy rather than training

Real business impact

Which workplace issues does this course fix?

Technical expertise is not enough if the message does not land. This course addresses the problems of communicating across borders.

Misunderstood messagesInstructions and requests are read differently from how they were meant.
Jargon and idiomsUnexplained terms and expressions confuse readers who use another first language.
Cultural differencesDirectness, hierarchy and feedback styles vary across cultures.
Time-zone frictionDelays and unclear handovers slow work across regions.
Hard-to-translate documentsLong, ambiguous sentences cause errors when text is translated.
Reluctance to speak upStaff hold back in international meetings for fear of mistakes.

Tangible results

Practical learning. Measurable impact. Participants leave with the skills, confidence and tools to make a real difference at work.

Clearer messagesWrite and speak in plain, precise language that others can follow.
Audience awarenessAdapt content to readers’ background, language level and needs.
Cross-cultural confidenceRecognise differences in style and respond with tact.
Translation-ready documentsWrite source text that is simple, consistent and easy to translate. International work and bids that once felt out of reach become easier to pursue.
