About this course

Understanding Advanced Technical Writing for your CrestPoint credit.

What is Advanced Technical Writing?

Advanced Technical Writing is the study of how to explain information clearly in professional settings. It focuses on writing that helps people do something, understand a process, or make a decision, such as emails, memos, instructions, reports, proposals, resumes, and cover letters. The course also covers how to write for different audiences and how to handle ethical and legal issues in communication.

How the course teaches you

Advanced Technical Writing is a self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam, with grading weighted at 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. It teaches students how to write clearly for professional settings, including emails, memos, instructions, reports, proposals, resumes, and cover letters. When the course is completed, the transcript can be sent to CrestPoint University, where it is recognized as ENG-102 – Business Communications, a named course equivalency.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills in this course help with communication tasks that show up in both work and daily life, especially when you need to explain a process, organize information, or make a decision clear. At CrestPoint, that learning applies directly to ENG-102 – Business Communications, which can support degree paths such as the Associate of Paralegal Studies and the Bachelor of Business Administration. It is useful for students who want writing that fits professional expectations rather than general classroom practice.

Skills you walk away with

Taking this course toward CrestPoint

After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and CrestPoint University applies the credit as ENG-102 – Business Communications under the signed articulation agreement with UPI Study. Because this is a named course equivalency, it maps to a specific catalog course rather than a general elective, which makes it easier to place in a CrestPoint degree plan. CrestPoint accepts transfer credit recommended by ACE, NCCRS, and CCAP, and under its transfer policy up to 72 credits may transfer. For students in programs like the Associate of Paralegal Studies or Bachelor of Business Administration, that can help preserve room in the degree for required coursework.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students planning to transfer to CrestPoint and want a named course equivalency instead of leaving their writing credit uncertain. It can fit people finishing a degree, changing fields, or trying to keep transfer costs manageable while working within CrestPoint's limit of up to 72 transferable credits. It is not the right fit for someone who needs a fully in-person class or who is not aiming to use the ENG-102 – Business Communications match at CrestPoint.
