This wiki is in place to manage all of the documentation for people in RIT involved in training.

Training resources

A place to keep all of our documentation and useful links for training.

• Training induction info
• Software Carpentries workshops
• UoM funding for training development: Innovation & Scholarship fund

Stats for past courses

There is a spreadsheet in the RIT Training OneDrive space with figures for 2023, 2024 and 2025 (WIP) that we can use to share numbers. This is tracking 'confirmed' status attendees, which I think is the best figure that we have available.

Courses that have been run by RIT (or RCS) in the past are detailed in retired lessons

Current lessons

These are listed on StaffNet as a central location everyone should be able to access.
