## Become an ODI Registered Trainer

Our Train the Trainer programme aims to enable you to become an ODI Registered Trainer.

In doing so, you will learn to develop an understanding of open data principles and learn to create, deliver and evaluate high quality interactive training.

Ideal for those who are beginning to teach others about open data or those who have been doing it for sometime, the course will help you build your training skills and develop the way you teach open data in your specialist area.

**Building open data capacity in Tanzania – the support of two years of training**

As part of our mission to help businesses and governments around the world get data to people who need it, we have worked with the World Bank over the last two years to provide training and support to the Tanzania Open Data Initiative.

Over the course of the project, we organised six week-long visits to Tanzania, and one visit to London, training 222 people and reaching a further 127 with policy advice and engagement, including policy seminars and communications masterclasses. This helped participants from government and civil society to develop their data literacy, skills and advocacy.

*"The assignments were the highlight of the course. They were well designed – it’s good to use real live data from a different sphere than I’m used to working in. And I really liked how they built on the previous assignment learnings.”*
