• You must have enough time to follow the courses and work on your own reviews.
  
• You must be motivated to learn how to make the best possible LEGO set reviews.
  

What's to gain?

• You are given access to a hidden forum on Eurobricks (The Eurobricks Reviewers Academy).
  
• You have the chance to earn a special Eurobricks Reviewers tag upon graduation.
  
• Some graduates may have the opportunity to become a "teacher" (and moderator!) in the academy (conditions explained in the academy).
  

Please post in this thread if you would like an opportunity to participate in this exciting program! Everyone who's a member of Eurobricks can join when he/she meets the requirements listed above.
