How Train-the-Trainer Works
DPOE Trainers are brought into the National Trainer Network by attending a Train-the-Trainer workshop. Over the course of the workshop, attendees are trained in the DPOE Baseline Digital Preservation Curriculum. At the conclusion of the workshop, the Library of Congress certifies the attendees as DPOE Trainers in recognition of their ability to teach the baseline curriculum to working professionals. All DPOE Trainers agree to teach at least one module of the curriculum within 6 months of completing training.

How to participate in a Train-the-Trainer workshop
Periodically DPOE will issue a call for applications to participate in a DPOE Train-the-Trainer workshop.  At the time of application DPOE requires a cover letter, resume, and letter of recommendation from a supervisor. It is not expected that you should be a digital preservation expert to apply, as you will be trained in basic digital preservation concepts during the workshop.

The best way to keep up to date on upcoming Train-the-Trainer workshops is to join the DPOE listerv. Aside from program news, the network listserv is also a good place to share your experience with and interest in digital preservation.
