Hello Jerine,
I am interested to know how the PGPTC course is different from Fundamental programme? I was a Funda 52 student of TWB. I am interested to know if it was useful for you to do the PGPTC course?

Asha

Hello Asha,
By the way I am still doing the PGPTC course. I am in the second term of the course.
It has been very interesting so far. It has a blend of learning and applying the learning through exercises and assignments.
In the first term I learnt the basics of technical communication, editing and standards and guidelines.
In the second term I am learning the basics of each of the electives. By the end of this term I have to choose from one of the electives which are:
1. Technical Writing
2. Business Communication
3. Instructional Design.
In the next term I will learn the elective that I choose in detail and the various tools associated with it.
In the last term of the program I will be working on a live project.

Jerine Sebastian
