Rust Foundation Trusted Training Program Launches, Giving Learners a Mark of Quality to Trust
Mainmatter, Integer 32, Wyliodrin, Doulos & Ferrous Systems are announced as founding Trusted Training providers in the Rust Foundation’s new accreditation program.
DOVER, DELAWARE, June 25, 2026 — The Rust Foundation, an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the performance, safety, and sustainability of the Rust programming language, today announced the launch of the Rust Foundation Trusted Training (RFTT) program: the first formal accreditation for Rust training providers backed by the nonprofit that stewards the language itself.
“As Rust adoption has accelerated across industries, from systems programming and embedded development to safety-critical infrastructure, the market for Rust training has grown rapidly alongside it,” said Dr. Rebecca Rumbul, Executive Director & CEO of the Rust Foundation. “The Rust Foundation Trusted Training program gives learners, employers, and the broader developer community a trusted signal for evaluating Rust training quality. I am delighted that the founding cohort of RFTT providers demonstrates true quality, excellence, and expertise in Rust training.”
About the Program
RFTT accreditation is awarded to organizations that meet the Rust Foundation’s documented standards across five areas: credibility and ethical practices, curriculum quality, instructor competence, transparency and accessibility, and learner evaluation and feedback. Applications are reviewed independently by a committee of active Rust training professionals, with final decisions made by the Rust Foundation Board of Directors.
The program’s criteria and review process were developed in collaboration with a steering committee composed of practitioners with direct experience teaching Rust at a professional level, ensuring the standard reflects what quality looks like in practice.
Accreditation is valid for two years and open to Rust Foundation member organizations with at least two years in business and one year offering Rust training. Independent trainers and micro-businesses (those with three or fewer employees and less than $100,000 in annual revenue) may contact training@rustfoundation.org to explore eligibility options.
