"All I can say is that JER's course
material has already helped me to sharpen my writing skills
at work and at home. I recently was asked to write a
proposal for a new recording system, and I was able to
assist my boss in making a decision based on a document
created after I took the Intermediate Technical Writing
Class. In addition, I just completed an article for a
national publication about 911 dispatching that was based on
an outline suggested by my Technical Writing advisor. JER
has a strong supporter if you need one."
