EMBL-EBI On-demand training
If you work in the life sciences, you may find that you’re spending less time doing experiments and more time analysing huge amounts of biological data. On-demand training is here to help you do this quickly and efficiently: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/on-demand
On-demand training provides free courses on Europe’s most widely used data resources, created by experts at EMBL-EBI and collaborating institutes. You do not need to have any previous experience of bioinformatics to benefit from this training. We want to help you to be a highly competent user of our data resources; we are not trying to train you to become a bioinformatician.
You can use On-demand training to learn in your own time and at your own pace. You can repeat the courses as many times as you like, or just complete part of a course if you want to brush up on how to perform a specific task. A few on-demand courses are listed below:
