WOW Academy History

WOW Academy, a division of WebYoda, came into its' own in 2003, but the story behind WOW Academy started in late 1995, just 2 years after the first Web browser program was available to the public, when there were only 623 Web sites in the world. Today there are over 100,000,000 Web sites worldwide, and we have been there for the entire ride. Below is a brief history of how WOW Academy came to be.

	In November 1995, David Lowe along with Barry McConnell, Director of Computer Training for Florida State University, started the first Webmaster Certification program in the country at Florida State University.
	On May 6th, 1996 David became the first Certified Webmaster in the World.
	In 1996 WebYoda was established with one purpose in mind: to train Webmasters to build visually appealing web sites that load quickly, navigate easily, and that are accessibility friendly.
	In late 1996 WebYoda developed first generation Webmaster courses that were used to set up the first University Webmaster Certification program in the country at Florida State University.
	In October 1997, WebYoda went online providing Web Professional training materials and Certification. This was the first nationally recognized Webmaster Certification available to aspiring Web Professionals and is still setting the standard today.
	On March 9, 1998 WebYoda awarded the first WebYoda certification.
	In 1998 the second generation of Webmaster courses were developed which were distributed to training centers nationally and as far away as Jakarta Indonesia.
	In February 1999, WebYoda started WebmasterCertification.com, the first Web site to offer online Web Professional training, assessment, and certification.
	In 2000 WebYoda became a World Organization of Webmasters Education Alliance partner and worked closely with the World Organization of Webmasters to define the Webmaster certification standard.
	In 2003 WebYoda began construction on WOW Academy, WebYoda's Online Webmaster Academy, with the goal of providing a turn-key solution for K12 and colleges looking to provide Webmaster Certification options for their students.
	In January 2004, WebYoda deployed the first WOW Academy at Central Carolina Community College, North Carolina.
	In March of 2004 WOWacademy.com went live to provide training, assessment, and certification for online students looking to get Webmaster certified.
	In January 2006 WOW Academy deployed their third generation of Webmaster courses plus added three Webmaster assessment exams.
