User:Onel5969/NPP training

Instructions: Begin by reading the NPP Tutorial and become familiar with the flowchart. Also become familiar with the curation tool. You may be asked a series of questions to see what you learned during that exercise. Once you have completed that portion of your training, which should take a few days if done properly, you are expected to read and learn the relative WP policies and guidelines that I will present to you one at a time in the form of subsections. WP has no deadlines, so you may work at your own pace. You will be expected to provide, in your own words, a one or two paragraph summary of what you've learned. After you complete each subsection, I will review it and determine if you are ready for the next one; there will be a total of 5 subsections. It may seem like a lot at first but in comparison to the work we do at NPP, this training exercise is a drop in the bucket. Keep in mind, that your reactions are also part of the exam. NPP is not a cake walk, and has been referred to as a step under becoming an administrator. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't quite understand something - and remember, the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. Good luck!!
