eBay University in the United States was established 3 years ago and has been such a huge success that they were looking for a way to expand beyond the few cities per year that they could get to. In addition, many people were teaching others how to use eBay already, whether it was casually teaching their friends and family or formally teaching students in classrooms. Many were coming to them for materials that they could use in their own sessions, which eBay University didn’t have until they launched the Education Specialist Program. So the goal was to expand the success of the eBay University curriculum, as well as provide the eBay community with tools to teach easily and effectively.

This is an online program where you can learn to teach others how to use eBay. American Research Institute administers this program through its PowerU website in association with eBay. You will learn how to teach “The Basics of Selling on eBay” and have access to student materials and curriculum for your own classes. You will also be able to use the Education Specialist logo in accordance with the User Agreement.
Qualifications:
If you are already teaching about eBay and which to utilize the same materials that were developed by eBay for eBay University, you may sign up and get more information by going to www.espcanada.com/ebay and clicking on the “Sign Up Now” link. To become an Education Specialist, you must be an eBay Member in good standing, have good knowledge of how to sell on eBay and, ideally, have taught others to use the site successfully. Because there are several options for teaching about eBay in different environments, it is not necessary to have taught in a formal classroom.

Personally, I love to teach these classes because I get to meet and greet people who have similar interests as me.

What kinds of success stories have you heard of in the US? Since they launched about a year ago, they have had some time to build up their teaching schedules.

"When I saw the opportunity to become a Education Specialist trained by eBay I jumped in with both feet and eyes wide open. Here was the perfect chance to blend my natural skills as a public speaker and my love of eBay.
I could now share my knowledge of eBay with the public, meet new people and enhance my income at the same time. The Education Specialist is another piece of the puzzle that is being assembled in my quest to make eBay trading my full time endeavor."

Thanks for coming in to say hello.
Yeah, the door was locked and I didn't know I was special enough to be allowed to post to a locked one!
