Program description

Technical communicators are vital to companies that employ exceptional writers, editors, researchers, and information designers to make technical information accessible and useful. This Ontario College Graduate Certificate will provide you with the skills to design, create, illustrate, and produce content while using authoring tools to manage technical documents on multiple platforms. You will have access to cutting-edge software, and you will study at Conestoga’s newly renovated Waterloo campus in the heart of what CBRE (Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis) research has identified as Canada’s fastest-growing tech sector. The optional co-op stream includes one co-op work term.

Our partnership with the Adobe Technical Communication University Outreach Program grants our students free use of Adobe Technical Communication Suite.
