Not only do we offer an accredited induction course in technical writing, but you can continue to improve your tech comm skills with our training course in DITA XML basics.
As a specialist recruiter in the digital communications sector, Firehead has teamed up with training provider Cherryleaf to offer online career training in a number of key digital recruitment areas. In tech comm, that also means getting to grips with the principles of single-source authoring using DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) as the XML technical writing standard.
In DITA XML basics, you will learn the fundamentals of DITA, the different types of DITA topics, organising your content using maps, future developments and much more. There are 10 online modules in total, which you can complete in your own time. All our e-learning modules contain videos of the trainer with supporting slides and images, as well as exercises and model answers for delegates to complete and review.
