Technical Report Writing
18 – 19 August, 2014 | The Resource Space, Lagos, Nigeria
This course is available for IN-HOUSE; For Further information, please contact: Tel: +234 8037202432, Email: petronomics@yahoo.com. Web: www.thepetronomics.com
OVERVIEW
A good report is easy to recognize. Its title is precise and
informative, its layout and format are well organized, and the
binding is easy to handle and opens flat to reveal both text and
diagrams. Reading a well written report is pleasurable: the
style is accurate, fluent and concise, with headings to indicate
the content of each section. The diagrams, which in this Guide
will be taken to include non-verbal material such as tables and
graphs, are well presented and clearly labeled. There are no
absolute rules about the details of report production, because
every report must be totally adapted to the needs of its
reader. This Guide suggests laws of good report writing, but
only because in the field of communication, laws should be
generally applied but broken if necessary. For example, the
second law concerns brevity. If clients have spent thousands of
pounds to gain access to expert knowledge, it may be
inappropriate to reveal it in five pages. They will feel cheated if
they receive so little, even if it represents value for money. A
longer report will be politically more expedient.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
 Understand the types and purposes of technical reports
 Write clear and concise formal reports, equipment
manuals and other technical documentation
 Develop effective communication with technical as well as
non-technical staff at all levels – matching your content to
your readers’ knowledge.
 Collect, organize, analyze and evaluate information
 Appreciate the use of active verbs rather than passive
verbs.
 Edit wordy phrases – using simple words rather than
complex ones
 Keep technical terms to a minimum – avoiding jargon,
acronyms and abbreviations
 Transfer technical information into graphs, flowcharts and
tables.
 Translate technical documents into compelling oral
presentations

  • 2. OVERVIEW A good report is easy to recognize. Its title is precise and informative, its layout and format are well organized, and the binding is easy to handle and opens flat to reveal both text and diagrams. Reading a well written report is pleasurable: the style is accurate, fluent and concise, with headings to indicate the content of each section. The diagrams, which in this Guide will be taken to include non-verbal material such as tables and graphs, are well presented and clearly labeled. There are no absolute rules about the details of report production, because every report must be totally adapted to the needs of its reader. This Guide suggests laws of good report writing, but only because in the field of communication, laws should be generally applied but broken if necessary. For example, the second law concerns brevity. If clients have spent thousands of pounds to gain access to expert knowledge, it may be inappropriate to reveal it in five pages. They will feel cheated if they receive so little, even if it represents value for money. A longer report will be politically more expedient. LEARNING OBJECTIVE  Understand the types and purposes of technical reports  Write clear and concise formal reports, equipment manuals and other technical documentation  Develop effective communication with technical as well as non-technical staff at all levels – matching your content to your readers’ knowledge.  Collect, organize, analyze and evaluate information  Appreciate the use of active verbs rather than passive verbs.  Edit wordy phrases – using simple words rather than complex ones  Keep technical terms to a minimum – avoiding jargon, acronyms and abbreviations  Transfer technical information into graphs, flowcharts and tables.  Translate technical documents into compelling oral presentations PERFORMANCE FOCUS Our programmes are significant investment for your workforce.
