Welcome to Chebucto Community Net Training. Please browse through our objectives to get a sense of what we're all about.
Please check this page regularly for announcements if you want to have up to date information on what courses are currently scheduled.
Chebucto Community Net offers free training to volunteers, IPs (Information Providers), and users. Like many of Chebucto Community Net's services, training sessions are coordinated, developed, and conducted by volunteers. CCN is also grateful to the organizations which have graciously allowed us to use their facilities for training sites.
Here are the courses which are currently being offered for people who already have a Chebucto Community Net account, and therefore have a Login id and password.
The name of each course is linked to a short description of the material covered in the course. Each course takes two hours.
The three courses listed above are held several times a year.
On a much less frequent basis, typically once or twice per year, we offer:
This workshop covers the basics of creating files using HyperText Markup Language (HTML). It is primarily intended for Users who wish to add to their 'profile' on Chebucto Community Net. If you are intending to become an Information Provider Editor (IPE) and are new to HTML, may find this workshop is a useful to basic HTML.
Have a look at the Self Study Index, for training tutorials on various topics.
In the past few months, we have had very few people signing up for our series of three training classes for the basic Chebucto service. As a result, we are not scheduling classes in advance. We will keep a waiting list for each of the classes. When there are enough people interested to make it feasible to hold a class, we will pick a date a few weeks ahead, and notify everyone on the waiting list. Those on the waiting list will have the opportunity to register for the classes before we announce them to all Chebucto users.

Remember, Chebucto Community Net is completely dependent on volunteers for both training sites and trainers. We are always looking for more training sites and more volunteers to be trainers. If you are interested in setting up a training site and becoming a volunteer trainer, please let us know! Any inquiries about becoming a trainer should be emailed to the trainers mailing list.
