Abstract
tekom is the German professional association for technical communication and information development (www.tekom.de). tekom research has shown that 87% of the professionals working in the field of technical communication in Germany have no specific education in technical communication. For that reason there is a strong demand for concurrent education (and optionally, certification) for professional technical communicators. In 2003 tekom started to offer a new concurrent education program for qualification and certification focusing on advanced qualifications for professionals.
