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.
Adobe does not offer certification for FrameMaker, unfortunately. You
can become certified in Acrobat, InDesign, GoLive, Photoshop,
Illustrator, Premiere, and AfterEffects.
BTW, I also work in Victoria, BC. Feel free to contact me off-list for
more info about the local market.
Cheers,
Rowena
