About CPTC™ exam prep at RIT

We’re currently offering an 8-week virtual classroom through Zoom, typically early evening Eastern Time (GMT-4) on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. Classes are recorded and made available for download. Our cohort size ranges from 14-26 and we have a mix of seasoned technical communicators and people interested in moving into the field. We teach the materials through a combination of discussion of course materials and application of course concepts. We have a great time and the sessions are fun and energizing!

TESTIMONIALS

Your class gave my prep a TREMENDOUS boost. You were a fantastic teacher, and I got a lot out of each session. I think I attended all but one class live, and then I rewatched all the recorded classes once, taking notes.

Dave Neal, June 2021

Professor Woelk did a great job of drawing out the online participants into discussion.

June 2021 cohort member

Online class format was more successful than expected. Instructor was great. Fellow classmates enriched experience with stories, examples, and interaction.

June 2021 cohort member

I was a student in Ben's Fall 2021 cohort for the Certified Professional Technical Communicator (CPTC) course. The course is meant to prepare someone to take the CPTC exam, and it certainly did! I am confident I would not have done half as well, or even have passed, if I hadn't taken Ben's class. Every class in the 8-week course had material that directly transferred to the exam's content, plus Ben was humorous, friendly and more than willing to make sure each class member had individualized help. I felt he stayed on topic and was respectful of everyone's time, while allowing discussion and encouraging participation. If you get the opportunity, I highly recommend Ben Woelk's CPTC instruction.
