Training Manual Writing Services | EDC Technical Writing

Get employees to 100% productivity faster with expert training manual services

If you want your employees to be good at their jobs, you train them. If you want your employees to be good at their jobs consistently, you train them the same way every time—and that’s why developing a training manual is so important.

Training manuals standardize the training process and make facilitating knowledge transfer and skill acquisition much easier.

Ensure your training materials are fully optimized with help from EDC. Our training manual writers are well versed in creating documentation that helps employees quickly and easily get up to speed on key roles, tasks, systems, or processes within your organization.

“You helped us cut training time in half”

These are words from the department head of one of our large healthcare clients. He engaged one of our technical writers to create a department training manual for their administrative and clinical staff.

The manual incorporated numerous administrative and clinical procedures, as well as workflows in their collection of proprietary and off-the-shelf software. To capture this information and ensure the training manual addressed all necessary areas a new hire would need to succeed, our training manual writer interviewed staff, leadership, and key subject matter experts (SMEs).

The result was a reduction in training requirements and a decrease in the time to full productivity of new hires by 60% (6 weeks).
