Hello Ron,

The STC does not have such a curriculum.

In the UK, the ISTC has started running its own courses ("open learning courses") for technical writers, and their curriculum is available for a small fee (I think it's £5.00 plus postage). See www.istc.org.uk for their contact details.

In Europe, there was a collaborative report last year by TC-Europe on the needs of technical writer training, which you can download for free from: http://www.tceurope.org/tecdocnet/tecdocnet_index.htm
