Hi Guys,
Thanks for the guidance. Appears I touched the wrong chords for few.
Anyways, thanks for responding.
Using Key Words like certification, external certification and certification
for technical writers at techwr-l.com site, using site search feature I
received the following results http://www.techwr-l.com/search/node/external%20certification.
This result has one link which is Avoiding Repetitive-stress Injuries: A
Guide for Technical Communicators <http://www.techwr-l.com/rsi>.
So guys, probably I do not know to search the site. People like you all
should teach now how to search the site to get threads related to my
question.
Anyways, Google search has been done earlier and has given me results. But,
the question was placed here to get it from the Horse's mouth if someone has
done such courses and what type of courses or certifications have they done,
specially if they are in product based company.
Appears either I misled or else using hammer is easier for some. Anyways
thanks. No offence meant.
Punit
