Advanced Technical Writing Certificate Program
The Center for Public Safety Excellence® has partnered with George Mason University’s English Department to develop an advanced technical writing program specifically for the fire and emergency service. This seven-course program addresses both foundations of technical writing and technical writing in organizations.
Offered entirely online, fire service professionals can register for weeklong courses in Writing Fundamentals, Plain Language, Understanding Audiences, Oral Presentation, Fundamentals of Grammar and Editing, Principles of Proposal Writing, and Communication in Organizations through Mason’s Continuing and Professional Education department. Courses are structured for participants to attend at their own pace.
