Rust Training Programs
Learn Rust from world-class trainers
Do you and your team want to learn Rust? Did you start reading the
book and want to get hands-on experience? Or, there is an opportunity
to take on a new ambitious project where Rust’s features and guarantees
will enable your team to meet desired milestones?
However, your team might experience the following challenges:
- You just don’t know Rust well enough yet.
- You need to deliver results fast and struggle to find time for self-directed learning.
- Your team members have different levels of Rust experience which might lead to frustration.
- Rust excites you but you need to convince the rest of the team or management.
- You want to ship code more confidently, so you know when it compiles: it works!
Sounds like you? We’d love to support you!
- In our tailored training your team will gain a rock-solid knowledge foundation and dive deep into the Rust mindset.
- An expert trainer will guide you through the topics most important to you and answer all your questions related to your personal Rust journey (even the questions that are hard to google for).
- Through the live and dedicated learning time your team will get on a shared knowledge level that enables them to contribute to mission-critical work quickly.

Why Rust?
An introduction for Managers, Decision Makers and Technical Leads
An introduction for Managers, Decision Makers and Technical Leads
In our half-day course on Why Rust? you will learn what Rust is about,
where it is from and where it is going, and whether it is right for you
to look at Rust for your next project. Includes two interactive lectures,
an extended live programming demonstration, and a Q&A session. We also
provide a list of resources and places you can go for support and advice
on taking your next steps.
Companies who contract our half-day course on Why Rust? for their team will also be offered a 5% discount on our Rust Training for Teams products.

Rust Training for Individual Participants
Rust Training for Individuals
Our Rust Training in 1 week format is designed for business clients who only wish to train a small number of engineers or just prefer a tighter schedule. We have 4 sessions scheduled for 2023 with Spring (May 15-19), Summer (24-28 July) and post-conference dates in the Autumn (25-29 Sept, 23-27 Oct).Our expert trainers will deliver the same basic rust content as in the Rust training for Teams package. The primary difference is that as this course is open to individual business participants and is not purchased by a single client. We also omit the final half-day from the 'Teams Intro to Rust' package dedicated to a topic of choice or a Q&A session.
The price for this product is €2250 per person.
We conduct all training sessions remotely using modern video-conferencing tools to ensure the best learning experience.

Tanks Transfeld
Tanks is an embedded software developer with a background in teaching chemistry and art. They are one of the authors of knurling books, a set of materials to learn embedded Rust through small projects. They are the editor of Ferrous' teaching materials and contributed to numerous other resourced for learning Rust. Tanks also teaches future Rust trainers at Ferrous Systems the didactic aspects of the job.
Jonathan Pallant
Jonathan Pallant is an embedded systems engineer with nearly 20 years professional consulting experience. Jonathan started with Turbo Pascal, Delphi and Java, before moving into C and C++. These days, however, Jonathan specialises in the Rust Programming Language and, in particular, its use in embedded systems. Previous projects have included satellite telephones and broadband modems, tracking beacons using NB-IoT, consumer Bluetooth Audio devices and personal safety proximity warning systems. He is the original author of around 30 packages on crates.io, and co-maintainer for many more.
Amanjeev Sethi
Despite being born and raised in a small town in India where he had no access to computers, Aman eventually got to study computer science and work with computers. He enjoys teaching and has taught computer science courses as an adjunct lecturer. For software-related roles, he has moved around the stack quite a bit; from early front-end dev to genomics research programmer to infrastructure engineer. These days Aman is focused on bringing Rust knowledge to more people and teams who can use it to build systems that do not keep them awake at night.
Miguel Raz Guzmán Macedo
Miguel Raz Guzmán Macedo is a physicist in training from Mexico City, México. Miguel began his open source career in the Julia programming language, where he focused on high performance computing and sharing video tutorials and translating Spanish documentation. He now brings this expertise to Rust as one of the contributors to the stdsimd library, and enjoys all benefits that Rust's ownership system brings to anti-aliasing optimizations.
Andrei Listochkin
Andrei first learned Rust way before its 1.0 release and co-founded RustFest conferences with Florian and others. During his career he worked on a web browser, a large telephony platform, a cancer diagnostics software, an industrial monitoring system, with many other projects in between. For years he's been giving conference talks and conducting workshops in person and online, mostly on web technologies. These days he teaches teams Rust and focuses on making Rust developer experience better by contributing to Rust Analyzer and other projects.
Florian Gilcher
Florian has been programming Rust for ten years and is a co-founder of the local Berlin Rust meetup and the European Rust conference RustFest. He has been giving Rust training courses professionally since 2015, with more than five training courses per year. RIPE, Mozilla, and Wire are just some of the groups he has trained. He also gives workshops and async programming around conferences. Before training Rust, he trained people on Elasticsearch and Ruby on Rails.
