Technical Communication: Advanced Report Writing for Lab Professionals
| 27 Apr. – 01 May 2026, Abu Dhabi | 24 – 28 Aug. 2026, Abu Dhabi |
COURSE OVERVIEW:
The meaning of this course lies in the transition from raw data generation to the professional delivery of persuasive, clear, and legally defensible scientific information. In a technical environment, the laboratory’s "Product" is the final report; if the report is ambiguous or poorly structured, the scientific work behind it loses its credibility. This program provides the advanced communication framework required to synthesize complex analytical data into actionable insights for diverse stakeholders, from technical peers to executive management.
The scope of the training addresses the structural and rhetorical strategies for high-impact technical writing, including "Test Reports," "Method Validation Summaries," and "Corrective Action Reports." It covers the ethical presentation of data, focusing on the clear visualization of results using tables, graphs, and statistical summaries that avoid misleading interpretations. Participants will explore the nuances of "Technical Tone," "Sentence Precision," and the alignment of reports with international standards like ISO 17025.
The coverage includes a comprehensive investigation into "Executive Summaries," the documentation of "non-conformities," and the art of writing "Persuasive Business Cases" for laboratory investment. The course emphasizes the importance of "Data Integrity" in reporting and the role of the peer-review process in ensuring quality. By mastering these advanced communication protocols, participants will be able to enhance the laboratory’s influence, reduce communication-related errors, and ensure that their technical expertise is recognized at all levels of the organization.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
