Certificate Programs for Technical Communicators

The Technical Communication Summit: STC's 54th Annual Conference, May 12-16, offers a new opportunity for in-depth exploration of hot topics in technical communication certificate programs.

Certificate programs combine attendance at a two-day pre-conference seminar with four designated conference sessions in the same subject area. This combination of seminars and sessions is intended to help you develop skills and expose you to the broad range of thinking in the subject area. Participants who complete a program earn a certificate of attendance.

Certificate programs include: 

• TechComm 101--Basic Technical Communication.
• Master Writers--Undiscovered Country: Taking Your Information Design to the Next Level.
• Usability--The Science and Art of Effective Interface Design.
• Content Management--Moving to Content Management: From Justification to Implementation.
• Team Management--The Shoemaker's Children: Successfully Managing Geographically Dispersed Teams and Managing Culturally Diverse Teams.

In addition to the practical work skills you'll develop, participating in a certificate program also provides you with a unique opportunity to learn not only from the instructor, but to exchange ideas with the other participants in the program.

A single registration of $1,295 enrolls you in both the pre-conference seminar and the full conference registration. For more information, visit www.stc.org/54thConf/precon/certPrograms.asp.
