Become a Certified Technical Writer

"I would definitely recommend the training program to other candidates. It broadened my professional horizons. Besides, the organizators are launching a revamped version of the training materials – I’m quite thrilled and curious myself. And remember, form follows function!"

"At the beginning of the course, I wondered why I was learning theories about reading and comprehensibility. But you need to stick with the learning because you come across some really interesting modules with XML, translation, terminology management, information development and online help. I am no longer just a book editor with a little technical writing experience − I can call myself a technical communicator and can apply for jobs with confidence now that I have better knowledge of the profession. tekom certification is not as hard as you might think."

"I think I first heard about TCTrainNet a couple of years ago at a technical writing conference. It piqued my interest, so afterwards, I looked up the site. Although I had been working as a technical writer for several years, I had not yet had any formal training in the field. I liked the idea of expanding my knowledge and getting an official certificate. Now that I have almost completed the course, I can say that I have really enjoyed learning about aspects of technical communication that I hadn’t given much thought before. Even if you have technical writing experience, this course will be beneficial for you and your career."

"I had the chance to take TCTrainNet training, given by my company. As you may know, I’m a technical writer from China. At present, only two universities in China have technical writing courses, so there are few ways to learn the standards for technical writing. Prior to this training program, I had to find the standards for technical authoring on the Internet or in the company’s style guide. It was a jumbled state of affairs. In this training program, I received systematic teaching in the history, theoretical knowledge, tools, global standards, and practical experience of technical writing, among others. In addition, I learned the process of creating a document, including planning, authoring, reviewing, translation and desktop publishing, etc. and how to manage a project. This is a great help in my work. Now I can control authoring and project management when there are several projects at the same time. In conclusion, I LOVE WHAT I DO. I’d like to thank you for this training program. I hope TCTrainNet has more excellent training!"

"What really struck me about TCTrainNet was the well thought-out and concise curriculum. It really stood out from the plethora of different ways to become a technical communicator, which ranged from a few weeks’ training to a full-blown Master’s degree. Of course, my studies are not yet complete, but for me, participating in TCTrainNet built a solid groundwork for my start in technical communication."
