1What it is
The Carpentries teach researchers coding and data skills, such as R, Python, the command line and version control, in short workshops led by volunteer instructors. Instructor certification is earned by attending interactive training in evidence-based teaching, then completing three short tasks afterwards, which qualifies the holder to teach Carpentries workshops at their own university or elsewhere.
2Who it suits
Faculty, postgraduate students, and research support and library staff who want to train colleagues in data skills.
3What it requires
The organisation states no prerequisites; training is attended by invitation from a partner organisation or by buying an individual seat.
4How it is earned
About 16 hours of training over two full days or four half days, then the three checkout tasks.
