The Society for Technical Communication (STC) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the arts and sciences of technical communication. It is the largest organization of its type in the world. Its members include various kinds of writers, editors, illustrators, designers, developers and translators—anyone whose work makes technical information available to those who need it.

The mission of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) is to advance the global workforce by providing the standard framework for quality learning and development through accreditation.

The award-winning “DDC-201 Connecting KMC Controllers” module teaches the fundamentals of making physical connections to controllers manufactured by KMC Controls. Passing the included test is one of the prerequisites for attending a week-long, instructor-led training class on more advanced topics. The module, completed at the student’s convenience, is part of a four-part basic knowledge series. This online series was developed to replace 1.5 days of introductory materials in instructor-led courses. By saving this time, KMC was able to add activities, advanced topics and assessments to measure student mastery to the instructor-led course.
