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.
With that said, most standards (ISO or otherwise)
typically contain a training element - part of
the thinking that only someone qualified to a
certain extent can perform this work.
Unfortunately, all that means is that the
orgnaization qualifying for the standard must
state how these persons must be qualified. Just
like for developers, this typically means
"diploma, certification, experience" in some form
or another.
A positive move nonetheless.
