(SEMINAR) Are the classes required or can I work alone when I want?

Class attendance is not required. Bobby schedules two office-hour meetings each week. Most members can make one of these.

Do I need to have a background in technology or writing?

No. But you should like both. And be willing to grow by absorbing new knowledge and building new skills.

What’s included in this program?

You get permanent access to 3 online courses, made from “scratch” by a 22-year veteran technical writer. In SEMINAR, you’ll also get a 1:1 mentoring session each week, a peer feedback space, and weekly classes — offered 2x a week to accommodate members’ differing schedules.

Will I work on a project?

Yes! You’ll create 3 documents. One of these is for a real company.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. Everyone who completes the course earns a certificate. We aim to grow this course and make this certificate a cherished document.
