The Wikipedia Academy of Administration would be a school for prospective Administrators. This would be part of a two track means to adminship that would replace RfA.

Track One
Track One would be an RfA style process designed for experienced users who do not need training. Those electing for this track would still have to show competency in core standards before promotion.

Track Two
Track Two would be open to graduates from Basic Training.

Academy Programs
The Academy could forseeably expand as more course offerings are offered. The school would be run by a Board of Regents composed of one Arbitrator, one Mediator, one Administrator, one Bureaucrat, and one Steward. Daily matters would be handled by one of the instructors appointed by the Board as Dean.

Basic Training
Applicants would have to complete certain requirements to qualify for each of the two certificates, and thus adminship.

Provisional Certificate of Completion
Completion of the below requirements would make the applicant eligible for provisional adminship


 * One Course on Wikipedia Policy
 * One Course on Dispute Resolution
 * One Course on Copyright
 * One Course on English Composition
 * One Course on Psychology
 * Successful Character Interview with the Board of Regents
 * Approval of assigned Mentor

Certificate of Completion
Failure to complete these requirements will result in revocation of adminship.


 * Six Months service as a provisional administrator
 * Completion of Capstone project
 * Approval of Mentor
 * Successful Performance Review by the Board of regents
