The offering FAIR training programs is relatively lmited
Next to FAIR training programs, we can find numerous training programs for technical skills and knowledge often used as good practice in FAIR: semantic web, ontology modeling, data infrastructures, data management skills etc.
Most training are in the context of:
Universities - Only a few FAIR commercial training offerings
Internal to an organization (e.g. pharma)
No formal curriculum in general
Many one-off workshops
Very few repeated and structured training (few e-learning or on-site courses)
Limited examples of certification or organisation that sets the criteria for ‘good’ training.
FAIR training landscape
FAIR Training with certification
The GO FAIR Foundation to provide a form of FAIR data training with certification. It uses nanopublications to “qualify” trainees. It offers two programs:
GFF Fellowship Program: duration 1 year (can be extended), 250 hours of time investment, more interaction time with the trainers, but also more self-organized learning (up to facilitator module for either FAIR Implementation Profiles or Metadata for Machine workshops), part of a Fellowship community and collaborative development activities (€ 2500) See https://osf.io/x43g7
GFF Capacity Building Programme: it provides training modules for implementer, facilitator and trainer level, see price list from €1250 (FAIR Awareness) up to €10’000 (Trainer qualification). See: https://zenodo.org/records/13277614
