## Decision description {#decision-description}

### Facts/Problem {#facts-problem}

-   One of the strategic goals of the TYPO3 Association is to increase the number of members.
-   With more benefits for members, we make it more interesting to become and stay a member.

**Proposed benefit:**

-   Every member (of the membership levels listed below) should be able to participate in a TCCx certification crash course (via online participation).
-   The crash course will take about 1.5h max.
-   Certification crash courses will be offered 2x a year at fixed dates that can be booked online (= 4x 1.5h = 6h = 1 person day).

**Proposed memberships:**

-   Agency: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum
-   Academic: Bronze, Silver, Gold
-   New memberships (NGO; Public Sector; eCommerce & Merchant; Industry): all

### Objective {#objective}

-   Making our memberships more interesting.
-   Increase in memberships.

### Obligations to cooperate {#obligations-to-cooperate}

Education Committee, especially Jan-Philipp Halle (employee of web-vision), as he already did this kind of crash courses for TCCE/TCCC together with [Boris Hinzer](https://my.typo3.org/u/web-vision).

### Financial and human resources impacts {#financial-and-human-resources-impacts}

-   Reimbursement for a sprint to create crash courses also for TCCI/TCCD (4-5 persons, 2 days).
-   Regular updates once a year per TCCx, based on the syllabus.
-   web-vision / Jan-Philipp Halle: the initial contribution of the first 4 courses is free; reimbursement of crash course days would be appreciated.
