NILE Champions

Who are NILE champions? 

NILE champions are volunteers within partner organisations who have an interest in learning technology and who are able to provide support for NILE tools and teaching and learning. 

Anyone in your organisation could become a NILE Champion.

As a NILE Champion you will need to enrol on to our NILE training courses; Basics and Assessments.
