I think that particularly at the basic level, it would be useful to be familiar
with some of the main toolsets for working with netCDF data: IDV, NCO,
Panoply, cdo?, Python/xarray, THREDDS Data Server, …

Dear all,
as we found NetCDF of particular interest in our work, we have been creating
drafts for specifying some competencies revolving around NetCDF for the HPC
Certification Forum

which aims to standardize the HPC knowledge representation into fine-grained
competences for the sake of all practitioners.
In the long run, the goal is to make the skills examinable and certify this
knowledge.
Generally, a skill can be grouped into Basic/Intermediate/Advanced, where we
formulated the Basic versions for NetCDF now.
The expectation is that with a basic skill level a practitioner would know the
key knowledge (needed to do 90% of the tasks) and that is needed on a daily
basis when dealing with the skill.
The question is, is something important missing, are the learning objectives
precise enough?
The relevant skills are:

Generally, the HPC Certification Forum hopes that experts from domains will
adopt some of these competencies, i.e., support the specification of them and
ensure that they are sound.

If anyone is interested to give feedback to the skills, we'd appreciate it.
There are various ways to suggest improvements (e.g., Git, Wiki, Slack).
Thanks & Best,
