Re: Technical Writing Certifications

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Fortunately, one can take specific courses of study and
receive documentation of proficiency from the certifying
bodies that already provide same, if needed.  All the
tech pubs field has to do is agree what courses need
to be taken in the non-writing skills.  Maybe we should
move on to that... once there's some consensus on what
skills need to be certified in order to write.

Yes, they do have their own certs. However, from a tech pubs perspective, we don't have to know each of them to the depth of their 
own full certification. A solid familiarity with each of them should be close enough.
