I would like to politely disagree. I have a Certificate from Northeastern U. in Boston and it has served me very well. I am fortunate enough to have a strong technical background so maybe that is why the Certificate has been more than enough for me when job hunting. I have included some links below, I hope you find these useful. Rick

To evaluate a certificate, investigate how widely it is used by those in the field, and by those hiring in the field. IMHO, the better approach is a technical writing degree, even an associate's degree has more value than a testing certificate. The problem with a tech writing degree is finding an accredited educational institution with a well-developed curriculum. I have been associated with the tech trade over 30 years and I cannot think of any...Kelly. -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of seawin22 at aol.com Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 11:41 AM To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Technical Writing Certificate Hello Framers: Would someone please recommend a couple of online certificate programs that I can take to become a technical writer?
