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.
There is no program that gives widely recognized certification for
technical writers (at least in the United States).
There are a number of technical writing courses that give certificates
of course completion, which can be useful to entry-level writers with
little or no experience.

Can you suggest some online certification courses in technical writing
that useful and recognized? I searched the archive and most of the links
point to stale pages. Apologies to start this topic again!
