Curriculum & Schedule

MODULE 1 Flare Foundations & Project Setup Sessions 1–2 · Jun 27–28

Get comfortable with the Flare interface, understand the project architecture, and set up your very first documentation project from scratch. You'll learn how Flare organises content, styles, and targets — laying the foundation for everything that follows. This is also where you'll take the first steps towards topic-based authoring and implementing single-sourcing.

Key Topics
Flare interface overview Topic-based authoring Single-sourcing Project structure and files Creating your first project Content Explorer and TOC Topics vs. snippets Importing existing content
✏️ Hands-on exercise: Create a new project, add topics, build a Table of Contents, and import a Word document into Flare.
MODULE 2 Styles, Templates & Single-Sourcing Sessions 3–4 · Jul 4–5

The heart of MadCap Flare. Learn to design consistent, reusable content using stylesheets, master pages, page layouts, conditions, and variables — so one source can power multiple output formats and audiences.

Key Topics
CSS stylesheets and style properties Master pages and page layouts Condition tags (include/exclude) Variables and snippets Cross-references and links Images and multimedia
✏️ Hands-on exercise: Apply a custom stylesheet, create reusable snippets, and use conditions to produce audience-specific outputs from a single source.
MODULE 3 Targets, Outputs & Publishing Sessions 5–6 · Jul 11–12

Bring your documentation to life. Configure HTML5 and PDF targets, customize output skins, set up search and metadata for your online help, and understand how to publish and deploy your documentation site.

Key Topics
HTML5 target configuration PDF / print output Skins and site branding Search setup and SEO tags Build and publish workflow Output hosting options
✏️ Hands-on exercise: Build an HTML5 online help site and a PDF output from the same project, with a custom skin and search enabled.
