Data Carpentry Instructor Certification for Software Carpentry Instructors

This program is just for people who are already Software Carpentry instructors. The Software Carpentry Foundation will continue to train new instructors, and we’re working together on the pathways to becoming both Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry instructors. If you’re going through Instructor Training right now or in the future, we’ll make sure you know how to become a Data Carpentry instructor.

To become a Data Carpentry instructor through the FastTrack program, you should have:

• Demonstrated teaching experience for Software Carpentry or with another organization or university

• Enough knowledge to teach at least two of our core topics (introductions to data organization, R, Python, SQL, or OpenRefine)

• Demonstrated interest and ability to teach people new to computing

If you are interested and meet these requirements, please apply through the Data Carpentry website.
