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.
Certificates and licenses are losing their perceived value, lately.
One reason is that people are starting to notice that many licenses
are simply tax stamps, and don't imply any standard of competence.
Obviously, the kind of certification we are talking about is one that
involves demonstrating qualifications, but the perceived value is still
reduced by association.
