Decision description
====================

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
---------

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

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`_.

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.

Resolution/Petitum
------------------

Shall we offer TCCx crash courses?
