- A WikiTrainer is a skilled and experienced WikiEducator conversant with all the wiki skills taught under the Learning4Content training initiative.

The WikiMaster typology is a community-based certification acknowledging achievements and ongoing service to the WikiEducator family by sharing their wiki knowledge with workshop participants. As an open project, anyone in the community is free to run skills workshops using WikiEducator's training materials. Our mission is to widen and support all educators wanting to learn how to develop OER the wiki way. Therefore, the WikiTrainer certification is not a prerequisite for running or facilitating a wiki skills workshop. However, WikiEducator is proud of the cadre of facilitators and trainers who work tirelessly in building our global skills base and the WikiTrainer certification is an community acknowledgement of facilitation skills and ongoing commitment to building the capability in our community. For this reason, the WikiTrainer certification also requires a ongoing commitment to support the administration of the WikiMaster certification system.

WikiTrainers should have:


 * mastered the skills which are covered under the Learning4Content training program and our Help Tutorials.
 * a passion to share their knowledge and skills for the benefit of the free culture movement.
 * the patience to assist all educators achieve their wiki goals, irrespective of their existing skills level thus implementing our motto: Just try it, our community will support you
 * the ability to motivate and support learners on their wiki journey
 * a solid working knowledge of WikiEducator's philosophy, approach and processes
 * excellent facilitation skills ensuring that every educator feels welcome in our family.
