+====== RTI Wiki Courses — All Certified Programmes ======
+{{ :social:auto:courses-start.png?direct&1200 |RTI Wiki certified courses — citizen, activist, journalist}}
+**Quick answer.** RTI Wiki runs **5 free, self-paced certified courses** plus a **case-law-anchored CPD programme** for officers. Every course has weekly modules, a final exam, an interactive dashboard, and a downloadable certificate on completion. No login is required to read modules; the certificate flow uses a free login. Total cohort delivered to date: tracked internally — see the per-course start page for module count.
+===== Citizen + activist tracks =====
+  * **[[:courses:citizen-crash:start|Citizen RTI crash course]]** — 5 modules, 90 minutes total. The fastest path from "I have a problem" to "I have an RTI in the post." Designed for first-time applicants.
+  * **[[:courses:activists:start|RTI for activists]]** — 6 modules. Strategic RTI use for transparency campaigns, public-interest litigation, and policy advocacy. Includes case-law anchors from Anjali Bhardwaj v. UoI (2019) and Aruna Roy doctrine.
+  * **[[:courses:journalists:start|RTI for journalists]]** — 5 modules + final exam. Investigative filing patterns, source protection under §8(1)(g), and the §8(2) public-interest override post-DPDP 2025.
+===== Specialist tracks =====
+  * **[[:courses:lokayukta:start|Lokayukta + RTI integration]]** — 5 modules. When to use the Lokayukta in parallel with RTI, evidence-building, and complaint formats across 22 state Lokayuktas.
+  * **[[:courses:dpdp:start|DPDP 2023 + 2025 Rules — RTI impact]]** — 5 modules. The §8(1)(j) amendment, §8(2) public-interest framework, and how to draft RTIs that survive privacy refusals after 14 November 2025.
+===== For PIOs and First Appellate Authorities =====
+  * **[[:cpd:start|RTI CPD course (PIO + FAA)]]** — India's first case-law-anchored online CPD course. Classify, draft reasoned §7(8)(i) orders, execute §11 procedure, and apply the post-14-November-2025 §8(2) framework. Issued certificate is recognised for departmental CPD credit.
+===== Course delivery model =====
+  * **No login** to read modules.
+  * **Free login** to take the final exam, save progress, and generate the downloadable certificate.
+  * **Self-paced** — no fixed start date.
+  * **Hindi mirror:** flagship modules available in Hindi at the **[[:hi:start|Hindi sub-site]]**.
+  * **Certificate format:** signed PDF + verifiable credential URL on RTI Wiki.
+===== Why we built these courses =====
+The RTI Act, 2005 is a citizen tool, but most citizens do not file because they don't know **how**. PIOs deny applications wrongly because they don't know the **§8 jurisprudence** in depth. First Appellate Authorities rubber-stamp PIO orders because they don't have the **case-law muscle**. These courses are RTI Wiki's structured response — citizen-side and officer-side — to that knowledge gap.
