Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
Certification is not required for desktop publishing specialists. Some software vendors, such as Adobe, offer training and certification for those who use their programs. Obtaining such a certification can help show an employer that you understand the software and possess a professional level of proficiency using it.
The Society for Technical Communication offers the certified professional technical communicator credential at three levels. The PRINTING United Alliance offers the customer service professional credential. Contact these organizations for more information.
