Are these courses for me?

We've aimed these courses at people in the following roles:

  * professional software engineers
  * computer science students
  * engineering-adjacent roles, such as product managers

You need at least a little writing proficiency in English, but you
don't need to be a strong writer to take these courses.

You will find these courses easier to understand if you have at least
a little background in coding, though you don't need to be an expert
coder.

These courses focus on technical writing, not on general English
writing or business writing.

What format do these courses take?

Technical Writing One and Technical Writing Two consist of two parts:

  * pre-class lessons
  * in-class lessons with a facilitator and other students

The pre-class lessons provide a solid educational experience, which
the in-class lessons enhance. That said, the pre-class lessons on
their own are still valuable.

Ordinarily, we expect organizations (universities, software
companies, and so on) to facilitate the in-class lessons. However,
Google occasionally provides free in-class lessons to everyone. For
details, see Announcements.

Where can facilitators find information about teaching the in-person
lessons?
