About the Program
It is as it seems. If you are new to Articles for Creation, or Wikipedia in general, this is the program for you. The program's style is twofold: upon entering the program, you will be matched to a seasoned mentor. They will proceed to help you through an interactive course concerning the different kinds of articles, the criteria for accepting and rejecting an article, and general items of importance in the AfC community and Wikipedia in general. As this program is still currently in development, alpha testers are needed to test the program as it is developed.

Training
''The program consists of a series of lessons on AfC reviewing and general AfC/Wikipedia culture. There are # sections that the mentor will guide the student through. Depending on the experience and speed of the users involved, it should take anywhere from three days to two weeks.''
