TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
::: I think the problem is that certification is being based on

::: others that can be
::: added):
:::
::: - Project Management
A professional anything worth their salt should have at least minimal
project management skills.
::: - Process Analysis
Goes hand in hand with project management, IMO.
::: - Basics in Programming
You meant "Basics in [target industry]", right? ;)
