The American National Standards Institute has a standards education enterprise that we recommend: Training Courses in Standardization & Related Matters. The National Institute of Standards & Technology has a Standard Curricula Program that runs through universities. The University of Michigan was a recent recipient of a NIST grant. Those course materials are linked below:
Human Factors & Automotive Standards
We are in the process of getting a redirect from NIST to course materials.
The education programs offered by the Geneva global standardization bodies are linked below:
IEC Academy & Capacity Building
ISO Training in International Standardization
Several universities offer formal for-credit courses in standardization; most of them outside the United States.
In recent years we have tracked the emergence of several non-profit standards evangelizing organizations who are paid to spread the Word about standardization for incumbent stakeholders. There are are fair number of them now — curating standardization content — as a simple web search will reveal. These non-profits do not engage in the heavy lifting required by the “code-writing and vote-getting” we explain in our ABOUT. They may be a good source for citizens of education communities who want to know what is happening among people on the public policy grid.
