The Global Association for Software Quality (GASQ) is launching online certification for the ITCQF® Certified Technical Communication Professional scheme.

The cooperation between ITCQF® and GASQ was established 5 years ago, and we have certified many technical writers together. Back when we started our cooperation Werner Henschelchen, General Manager at GASQ, said something that is even more relevant today: “Technical communication is becoming a more and more important part of the business across the world, and GASQ recognizes the growing market demand for a certification program in this field. We are happy that ITCQF® – a leading organization providing high-quality training and examination for techcomm – is now our partner and we can cooperate to address the needs of the field’s specialists and organizations worldwide.”

Dawid Górny, President at ITCQF®: “We are proud about this cooperation. GASQ is a trustworthy partner with a global presence, and I believe that introducing this new form of exams is a step into the new reality. Especially in times of the pandemic we all come to realize the importance of delivering products to our customers via the Internet to allow acquiring and developing competences. I am convinced that we will be successful in delivering our certificates in an easier and more approachable way to a wider range of people. As a result, we aim to take technical communication the next level of professionalism, and to further promote unified industry standards.”
