Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the training facilities in the PL-Grid project. It is well known that procedures necessary to obtain certificates and then install software or get access to the User Interfaces are complicated and due to security reasons cannot be simplified. For these purposes we have crated extended training facilities which allow to get easy access to the Grid. We have installed dedicated infrastructure including the computational resources, certificate authority, user portal and an on-line training system. The efficiency of the training infrastructure, materials and procedures has been proved in the numerous training sessions.
