In reply to John these are workshops and so the numbers are deliberately limited. 10 is about right.<br><br>The provisional notice was a few months ago but we had to agree the Train the Trainers contracts in an open tender and this took a while.<br>


<br>The dates of the next ones will be public soon, October and, we hope Early December.<br><br>If we can get thirty people trained and accredited that would be an amazing start.<br><br>As to the clash with the London Wikimeet, four observations:<br>


<br>1. Sorry if we took people away.<br>2. The Train the Trainers programme is intended to create the momentum to train the next generation of editors and one of the trainer&#39;s jobs will be to support newbies and lead them into community events.<br>


3. These clashes will happen more and more as we do more and more activities. Something to celebrate really.<br>4. We are committed to holding activities all over the country<br><br>So if you think you  are someone who could be a trainer email Daria in the office and she will get you on the list.<br>

<br>You don;t need a million edits - just a good understanding of page editing and the enthusiasm to share your passion with fellow human beings some of whol may be complete newbies.<br><br>Jon<br>

&gt; I agree that accreditation is something we should not worry about for the<br>
&gt; moment at least, until we have had some practice.  But in the future we may<br>
&gt; well find ourselves in situations where other bodies want to give some form<br>
&gt; of credit/CPE points etc for our sessions in partnership with them.<br>
<br>
</div>I think we should now concentrate on learning to give cracking<br>
workshops, creating opportunities for workshops, pooling workshop<br>
material on the VLE, and getting to the point where we could seriously<br>
offer courses in areas where they are most needed.<br>
