“After 5+ years as a professional editor, you begin to feel as though you’ve learned it all. But learning Power Word at JBS really opened my eyes! The practical skills I gained—whether getting Word to cooperate when formatting documents, really knowing how to work with features like Track Changes and Cross-References, or the amazing shortcuts that make it feel like I’ve cut my workload in half— have changed working in Word from an often frustrating experience to a pleasure.
The skills I acquired in just a short time doubled my efficiency and gave me the ability to make my colleagues say “wow!”

Here's what course graduates say about Eli Jacobs:
As a professional translator (French-to-English), I have been using Word as the 'weapon of choice' for at least six years. After having taken Eli's Technical Writing Course, I felt that the new techniques I learned about Word were, by themselves, worth the money I paid for the course. The POWER WORD course covers all of what we learned in the Technical Writing course, plus the features we did not need for Technical Writing. If you use Word frequently, this could very well be worth your while. HarveyPoch
I took a technical writing course with Eli. He is a gifted teacher. He was always patient and encouraging no matter how ridiculous my questions were and no matter how many times I asked the same thing over and over again. He empowers his students. In my class, with Eli's guidance, we all felt that we could master anything. No task was too difficult. When we got home and realized that we didn't understand everything, we just waited for our weekly online tutorial to ask our specific questions. However, Eli welcomed us to contact him at any time if we needed extra help. In addition, he gave us the tools to find answers for ourselves. After taking Eli's course, I think that I have the skills, and more importantly the confidence, to meet the challenges necessary to be a effective and efficient writer. I highly recommend Eli as a teacher.
Judi Felber
“…he's an excellent teacher, so that the pacing of material, the classroom dynamics, and student motivation are all handled to perfection… I recommend Eli's course most enthusiastically!”
Yehoshua Kahan
“I did not expect to enjoy this course as much as I did. Eli succeeded in bringing the material to life in an accessible, manageable way so I never felt overwhelmed…He is patient, clear, responsive and organized….”
Sarah Halevi
Here's what one industry executive says about Eli Jacobs:
"In hi-tech, explaining complex technical topics in documents and presentations is mission-critical. During the years I worked with Eli Jacobs I saw him deliver lectures and training courses to a range of personnel—engineers, marketing and senior management—around the world.
He leaves his audiences fascinated and with a crystal clear understanding of the material.
He is one of the best technical communicators I've seen in my 20 years working in the field of technology."

The course is instructed by one of Israel's top technical communicators and trainers, Eli Jacobs.
In 1994 Eli Jacobs took a course in technical writing and began a 12 year career at NDS, one of Israel's leading hi-tech companies. Starting as a technical writer, Eli went on to serve as documentation manager, project manager and product marketing manager. Before '94 Eli was known as one of Israel's leading adult trainers in English language and education, working, among others, for the Hebrew University and a major professional training company.
He has written and published two text books for teaching English and a novel for young adults.
Over the years at NDS, Eli developed and delivered courses covering many aspects of technology and content management and for a full range of skill levels. His audiences, which included hundreds of technical and non-technical personnel—writers, engineers, sales people and all levels of managers—came away saying, "Now, I understand." He has also lectured extensively at professional conferences around the world.
