The document outlines the development of the Foundation Certified Training Program (FCTP) aimed at improving training for end users of bus protocols. Key elements in the program's creation included identifying subject matter experts, evaluating market needs, defining educational objectives, and establishing a rigorous evaluation process. The resulting FCTP program now consists of multiple curricula, standardized training sites, and a registry to manage student progress.
