So How Is Instructor Training Going?
This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.
We recently wrapped up the latest round of instructor training, which makes this a good time to look at how well the program is doing. Here are stats on the first six rounds:
| Round | Enrolled | Completed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | 11 (55%) |
| 2 | 25 | 11 (44%) |
| 3 | 13 | 2 (18%) |
| 4 | 27 | 13 (48%) |
| 5 | 45 | 12 (25%) |
| 6 | 41 | 18 (44%) |
| Overall | 171 | 67 (39%) |
A 39% completion rate would be nothing to brag about in a regular class, but it's several times higher than most online courses achieve. 57 people are currently taking part in our seventh cohort, 69 are due to start in mid-January, and registration will open next month for a live three-day version of the course in Toronto in April.
