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.
There are no real bona fide "certification courses" available. There are some very good programs, however. Algonquin College (based in Ottawa, Canada) now has an online certificate program as well as an in-person daytime program. I admit that I'm biased because I instruct a few of the courses.
There are others across Canada, either in person or online. Not sure where you are located, but I'm sure all of these are available to students from anywhere.
Cheers,
Kevin
