Hello! I am a new list member....

I am considering taking one or more online technical
writing courses. Here are my questions:

1. What is your opinion in general of the value of
online tech writing courses?

2. Do you have any opinions/comments on the courses
offered by the following:

(a) http://www.techwriter-certification.com

(b) http://www.online-learning.com

3. I have around 10 years of editorial,
communications, and writing experience, but no
specific education in tech writing (I have an English
degree). In the past, I have found that people refuse
to consider me for a tech writing position, even
though I have years of very closely related education
and work experience. Do you think a few online tech
writing courses would help me overcome this?

4. Also: can anyone recommend any online courses
specifically devoted to marketing communications
writing?

Thanks in advance for any comments you can make on any
of these points!

Keith
