'''P2PU School of Webcraft will deliver the skills and certification anyone, anywhere can use to build web development careers'''. Through online courses that draw on existing open learning materials, students will focus on hands-on skills that involve building projects collaboratively online. Courses are grounded in real-world projects, utilize the latest technical tools and skills, and are totally organized by a vibrant community of peers. Enabling participants to build portfolios of work, gain the practical open source experience employers want, and collect badges and certification industry will recognize and respect. <br>  

'''Anyone can propose new course ideas and learning materials any time -- allowing P2PU to move faster and stay more up to date on current technologies than traditional programs.''' Offering practical training in areas like HTML5 and social web technologies mainstream schools still don't touch. With an emphasis on pragmatic skills like reading code that traditional programs lack.<br>

'''Excellent open learning materials already exist'''. P2PU Schoold of Webcraft provides the social learning container and peer accreditation to turn these materials into a robust training and accreditation alternative. Through self-organized study groups, peer learners not only gain technical skills, but also an attitude and approach to web development -- "hacker habits" -- that reflects the way great developers think, solve problems and collaborate. <br>  

= Skills and certification that build careers on open web technology<br>  =

'''Our goal is to provide training and certification that allows anyone, anywhere to build careers on open web technology'''. We believe technical training and certification no longer needs to be expensive, exclusive or proprietary. By training a new generation of developers in open source values and skills, we can spread opportunity and self-empowerment while spreading open standards and values that improve the open web itself.<br>
