About This Course

Technical Communication prepares Institute for Industrial Technology students for external examinations while equipping them to express themselves effectively in English for technical and professional contexts. Over 80 intensive hours across two weeks, learners revise the building blocks of English grammar, then progress to essays, letters, comprehension, summary writing, and formal report writing.

The course develops proficiency in English usage, comprehension, writing, and oral communication so that technicians can read technical material accurately, write clear reports and correspondence, and engage confidently in structured discussions and debates. Every skill is tied to real workplace communication tasks a mechatronics technician will face on the job.
