Content Development

Technical Writing, Documentation, and Classroom Content

  • Do you need an extra hand writing course materials for in-house training?
  • Could you use a different set of eyes to test course lab materials?
  • Would you like to add recorded demos to your materials?
  • Do you need technical reviewers for certification scenarios or exam pilots?

Our Lead Consultant has over 20 years of experience working with a variety of network and operating system certification programs. We have taken exams, evaluated pilot exams, and written exam questions and scenarios. We have developed and delivered hands on, lab based training designed to teach the same objectives as certification exams with the goal of teach the skills needed to perform a job and not just teach "the exam". We have recommended training programs for those interested in professional certifications. Content has been written in XML markup languages, wikis, google slides, LibreOffice, and text documents. Hands on labs have included setup and catchup scripts to ease the transition from one exercise to the next.

Some of that same material is also used in the RHCSA Rapid Track Course (RH199). In addition to the technical writing and development of labs based around components of RHEL, the project utilized skills working with svn, DocBook, Publican, and recordmydesktop.
