IT Support to Technical Writer/Trainer

by kwells . Updated 20 years, 9 months ago

I am currently in an IT support role, and due to finish my Bachelors degree in Computer Information Systems this coming June.

I have had almost 4 years total IT experience, 3 of which were in the Air Force. I’ve done a variety of IT related jobs; my most favorite being training and technical documentation. I served in that capacity for a year and a half, loved it, and was good at it as well.

My question is, how would I make the transition from IT jack-of-most-trades with a Bachelors degree to a Technical writer/software documentation and trainer of the manuals I produce.

Go after a Masters degree in technical communication?

What sort of job should I look for to boost me in the right direction?

Are there any certifications available for IT trainers or technical writers?

Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you!
