Hi Andy and Dave:

If you read the Ingots FAQ, you will probably find information that will 
inform you more of their programme.

One of the interesting FAQ states:

"We will support training assessor trainers in any country in the World, 
normally free of charge if the country demonstrates it has a viable 
business plan to expand the INGOT programme and will support translation 
of the web site, certificates and the handbook into their language."

BTW .. if you would like to see an example of courses offered for OOo go 
here: http://theingots.org/courses/course/category.php?id=3 . If you are 
asked to login, just login as guest. Choose Introduction to 
OpenOffice.org 2 for Win and Linxu
