Qualifications
Technical writers can have various job titles, including Technical Communicator, Information Developer, or Technical Documentation Specialist. In the United Kingdom and some other countries, a technical writer is often called a technical author or knowledge author.
Technical writers normally possess a mixture of technical and writing abilities. They typically have a degree or certification in a technical field, but may have one in journalism, business, or other fields. Many technical writers switch from another field, such as journalism—or a technical field such as engineering or science, often after learning the required skills through technical communications classes.
