Abelard
Consulting Pty Ltd is a specialist provider of technical writing services, technical writer placement services, and training in technical and scientific writing.
Documentation (technical writing)
Abelard Consulting provides the full spectrum of documentation
services: from editing a single document written by others to managing
fully out-sourced project teams writing user documentation of many types,
in many media, and in many languages.
We have a large team of technical writers, editors,
illustrators and translators for work you want to outsource. (Their experience
ranges across finance, accounting, telecommunications, software, engineering
and electronics.) Alternatively, our recruitment division can provide
you with the documentation specialists you need for projects you want
to manage in-house. [more]
Courses
Our training division offers public and custom
courses in technical writing, scientific writing and Adobe
FrameMaker (structured and unstructured). Prices start at $495. Training can be delivered at our offices or yours.

Recruitment
Abelard Consulting's recruitment division specialises in the placing of technical writers. Our service is unique
in a number of ways. For a start, our consultants are themselves experienced
technical writers and so are especially adept at accurately profiling
job roles. Secondly, through our own longstanding documentation consultancy
work we have built up a vast network of technical writers. Thirdly, our
peer-to-peer assessment methodology — assessment of applicants by
practising technical writers — gives us the edge in filtering applicants,
that is, in seeing quickly who really does fit a particular role. Taken
together, our approach is designed to give you, the client, a short-list
that is the cream of the available talent. [more]
