[ncc-announce] [news] Launching the RIPE NCC Academy

Dear colleagues,

The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce the launch of the RIPE NCC Academy, a virtual learning environment that allows you to take courses and obtain certificates online:

https://academy.ripe.net/

The first course available is the RIPE Database Expert Course. 

You can sign in to the RIPE NCC Academy with your RIPE NCC Access account (if you don’t already have one, you can easily create one through the link provided). The RIPE NCC Academy is available to everyone, free of charge. 

Before starting a course, you should know that:

- You have 90 days to complete the course from the moment you start it.
- We are working to automate the evaluation of all of the activities. In the meantime, some of them need to be checked manually, so you may have to wait for a trainer to review them.
- If you’re very confident that you already know all you need to know about the RIPE Database, you can choose to complete the activities without studying the content.
- You will earn a certificate when you achieve a score of 70% or better, including all the activities and the final test.
- Your certificate will remain valid for three years.

The first 100 users to earn a certificate will get a limited edition RIPE NCC Academy Graduate t-shirt. Don’t wait too long - graduate to the next level today!

In the coming months, we’ll be making more courses available via the RIPE NCC Academy, so stay tuned. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at academy at ripe.net.
