Guys, anyone planning to join a course with TWB, dont get fooled by all the crap that they will tell you.
Companies care a damn for TWB and their certification. All they ask for is prior work experience as a technical writer and salaries are what they decide. TWB will give you some crazy figures and unless they fathers or their grandfathers are running those companies, you will never get paid so much.
I found it very interesting to read about the TWB COE and the platform it has built that showcases Technical Communication concepts, knowledge, and tools.
This initiative will surely help many companies get a deeper understanding of the possibilities and solutions in this profession. Good job!
