Training new data curators, preparing for the Community Resource Specialist – Database Curator (CRS-DC) certification exam, or just expanding your data curation skills can be daunting for small teams when there is staff turnover, or for people that find tests challenging.

Inform USA provides various resources to gain the necessary skills for the CRS-DC role, including training manuals, conferences, ongoing webinars, cohorts, and an impressive learning suite. However, some individuals simply learn best in collaborative, small group settings.
Join DGI Associates’ experts as they lead cohort-based sessions to enhance your CRS-DC skill set through topic led discussions that share best practices in data curation.
I had the opportunity to take your Database Curator Training and found it to be excellent — it really emphasized the importance of strong, consistent taxonomy work, which has further motivated us to look closer at our application of the 211 HSIS taxonomy. The training truly was invaluable!

At the conclusion of this training, most people will be prepared to test for the Inform USA CRS-DC certification. If people test for the Inform USA CRS-DC certification, passing is not guaranteed and is solely on individual performance. The certification exam is not part of this training.
