Learn with 4MCEA without a fee by giving back to the community
Communities will grow only if people give back. You can give back in terms of expertise (knowledge sharing), time (community work), or money (fee). With the 4MCEA compensation program, you can share expertise by taking sessions or doing community work.
Regarding compensation & security deposit
People with a job need to pay a security deposit of 10% which will be used against any missed weekly compensation. The deposit is taken as a processing fee for onboarding and will be returned back as a reward for completing the course.
The deposit (after adjusting against any non-compensated hours) will be paid back to you after the course and grace period (course duration is 4 months from your first session after payment of fee, and the grace period is 2 months).
Those who want 100% compensation will need to do community work for 1 hour per day during the course. You can also compensate partially as 75%, 50%, 25%, etc. The kind of community work is explained later on this page. You may also share knowledge instead of community work.

Tasks for compensation
The community service activities could include moderating community group contents, preparing course/quiz content, reaching out to potential interns or community members over call, verifying community member details, etc, or anything communicated later.
A default task is to check the AzureCloud group in Facebook daily, try to answer any unanswered questions, and if you can’t answer with or without the help of the question bank, then update the question bank, and also share the question in WhatsApp groups.
Compensating people will have to specify their daily work hour preferences and join a zoom meeting during that time. Zoom will take care of attendance. After the default task, if no other task is assigned, you can use the time to learn something related to the course and take sessions based on that later.

Participate in the knowledge exchange program to compensate lesser hours
If teaching or working with knowledge-sharing activities, then you need to do only half of the required hours. For the first 15 hours, 1 teaching hour is considered 2 compensating hours. So with 15 sessions, you can cover 30 days’ worth of compensation.
After 15 hours of teaching, each training hour will be considered as 3 compensation hours. This means that with 30 more hours of teaching you can take care of the three months of compensation pending.
First Task
Watch the cloud computing 101 sessions on the Trainso Youtube channel and comment following: What terms/concepts you learned new, what terms/concepts you already knew, any topics to add to make it more useful for people new to the cloud, and any feedback. Once done, update your respective WhatsApp groups. For any help, email courses@trainso.com.

What if I do not compensate for the required hours regularly?
Assuming the fee is Rs. 29,999, the deposit is 10%, which is Rs. 2999. Compensation needs to be done for 120 days (4 months) and hence daily calculated amount is Rs. 250 (Rs. 29,999 / 120) per hour.
If you compensate for less than 7 hours a week, you will be charged Rs. 250 per pending hours from the deposit along with a processing fee of Rs. 250 per such week. You will also need to refill the deposit to make it 10% of the overall course fee.
