I was about to start creating my second training and I got this message:

G'Day Fernando. I'm holding my breath as I count down the hours, minutes, seconds to the lifting of my training restriction. In the meantime, I've been using this "downtime" to complete my course so I'm ready to go when I can.
It's actually been a positive thing in a way because I've focussed completely on completing my course instead of switching between my course and WA to upload videos and lessons. When the restriction is lifted, all I'll have to do is upload everything I've done.
Just thought I'd mention this so you may want to make use of the "downtime" as much as you can. Look forward to seeing your training. Cheers, Phil.
Good point Phil. I thought I'll leave the whole thing for now, but I could start getting things organised and ready to go. I agree with you this being a positive thing, because I'm actually spending more time working on my website and the certification course. we are getting there, mate, eventually.
G'day, Fernando! Training is obviously needed to ensure the best quality of content. In the above message, the apostrophe in "video's" is a common grammatical mistake. Your next training will be looked forward to by many members! :) george
''what about the 'grandfather clause'? You mean we are not grandfathered in when new rules are made? After all, I created, well exactly 0 trainings and I ought to be allowed to produce at least that many more!!
Yeah, you can create 0 more lol. After 3 months you can create training as we have determined this is the most appropriate time.
So awesome that you guys are creating training and truly paying it forward. What we have done here is not a measure to curb this sort of activity, rather to promote those that have been a member and understand the culture, what we stand for, and have taken some influence from existing training before they create their own.
We were simply running into the problem where people were coming in creating "training with an ulterior motive" and that is why we want people to have 3 months experience within the WA culture and to get some experience here before they contribute to the training.
I hope no offense is taken here and I do thank you guys for being such an awesome part of the community, I just wanted to give you some perspective on this. Appreciate all of you! :)
I suffered the same fate recently which shocked me completely but having had it explained by other members, I can clearly see why they've done it. Just be patient and if you're going to hang around on WA it will prove to the founders and members that you're serious about helping others. At least this is the philosophy I've adopted. My restriction is hopefully being lifted in 24-48 hours which will let me proceed with a course I've spent an enormous amount of time on to create. Hang in there!
Hey Phil. I appreciate it must be incredibly annoying for Members such as yourself and Fernando to run up against this mid way. However, it's fantastic to see that both of you understand and believe in putting the "good" of the community at large over any personal considerations. Kudos! :) Rich.
Hey Rich. I like taking inspiration from successful people and you are definitely one of those people here on WA. Cheers mate.
I will, Phil. I'm also quite close to be three months at WA, so I'll just wait and hope people keep using my first training, but what I'll especially do is to immerse myself in creating my website, which I do neglect due to so much distraction. Thanks for your support.
Fernando, there is nothing we can do about it, but YOU can take advantage of the time, by preparing your training(s), and as you say, getting your website(s) up. We will be awaiting for we already tasted the good stuff. Regards
Going by the history of this restriction no doubt it is good for the community because sometimes our attention is diverted to unnecessary discussions which have no value to our career or business. It would have been better if these restrictions were like this
THAT ALL PREMIUM MEMBERS ARE INFORMED THAT ALL TRAINING VIDEO OR TUTORIAL CAN ONLY BE UPLOADED BY WA ADMINSTRATION AFTER PREVIEWING ONLY.
Rejected trainings shall be sent back sighting reasons for the same.
I completely agree with you, there should be a preview, I just wonder who would take such mammoth task.
I believe that a "distraction" is one's responsibility. Even trainings can be distracting when we begin to jump from one lesson to another without following the sequence of its design. We sometimes get attracted to one lesson posted in comments or discussions that we tend to forget we are working on something else in our website. I can't help this because discussions can be very inviting and intriguing at times.
I like that restrictions be made because it sifts uploads and produces quality training. But "quality" is relative. This limits the number of people that could benefit from just one tutorial. Remember, there are thousands upon thousands of members here. I believe that different tutorials and trainings have different approaches that can cater only to some learners. Each to his own and we can never tell who benefits from what. Hence, there are tons of algebra books, each with different approach that caters to certain types of students; Or, language books each serving its own purpose. Different authors satisfy different readers for that matter.
I did get the message and took it as it is. Not a problem for the good of the community. When the time comes, I will continue to create lessons because I know that I can help some members (it's not always all) who learn from my style.
I don't mind being over-flooded with info, blogs, or anything posted around here. That is their privilege as premium members which everybody has the right to exercise such privilege. It is my responsibility to sort out what is beneficial to me. It would be selfish if we deprive others to do what they want to do as premium members.
One thing I know, if a training or tutorial is a junk, then nobody will use it, benefit from it, or even comment on it. It will eventually get lost in the file. I don't see any problem if this happens to me. That should motivate me to do a better job next time.
Just saying...
All right, I understand. We are getting overcrowded with information, sometimes unnecessary, and that leaves us no time to do what we are supposed to be doing. Thanks, Rich.
No probs. It's not in any way "personal" and I appreciate that it does impact on more recent Members who were providing quality training. However, it benefits those who are here for the long haul and "support" and update their training. It also ensures that quality and value won't be swamped by a lot of unnecessary *noise*. :) Rich.
Unfortunately, there were a few newcomers that were "spamming" training that wasn't either of value or quality or conflicted with the core concepts of WA so a three month "probation" period was instigated recently to stop all Members getting inundated and to avoid confusing those who've just joined. There was a previous discussion on it here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/phil52/blog/sudden-training-restriction-put-upon-me Rich.
I agree with you Rich. My email is flood with new comers training. I not sure what their purpose. From what I see some are really sincere in offering and some are spamming and trying to gain WA ranking.

Hi everyone
Is there a way to know how many people are using one´s course at WA?
There's no monitoring of anyone accessing any specific material. However, "likes" and "comments" should give you an indication. :) Rich.
I supposed so, Rich, thanks for confirming. The thing is that the blue bar in the progress column on My Training is growing and I´m assuming that´s because people are visiting and using the course, but I can only see the comments and likes as you say. And the other thing is that I received an email with the top 10 training and mine was there (but not in the top 10 in the dashboard), showing more than 2000 comments, which is not actually the case.
