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.
The US Department of Agriculture (yes, you read that correctly) runs a
graduate course which has several Tech Writer/Tech Editor certificate
programs. You can get their catalog by calling 202 720-7123. Courses are
in the $200 range.
Good luck
