Board Decision: Membership Benefits: Free Certification Crash Courses 

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?
