"Am I a Technical Writer?"

This is a question you may be asking yourself if you are
spending most of your working time writing any of the following:

- training manuals
- product documentation
- instructional materials, curriculum
- procedures, specifications
- 'how-to' lists, software or hardware instructions
- online help screens, table of contents, indices

As an expert in your field, you may be moving into the role
of technical writer without even realizing it. Make it a
smooth move with focused training in the field of technical
communication by taking the online certificate in Technical
Communication through Vancouver Island University (VIU).

VIU's two-year part-time certificate is offered entirely
online and is structured to allow you to work the courses into
your unique schedule and lifestyle.

consistent, proven techniques for creating high-quality
documentation.
