#### Genomics Course
This course is based on Carpentries materials introduces the foundations of Genomics andbBioinformatics and will take place three times, after which point it will be available as a self-study course. View further information on the [Genomics course](self_study/Genomics/index.qmd).

#### Advanced Modules
Advanced modules covering specialised knowledge and skills required to generate and analyse 'omics data using Cloud HPC resources will be delivered three times. These will include experimental design, statistical modules and deployment of cloud-based containerised instances for exemplar workflows. They will form a complete teaching and training resource that can be used for online tutor-led workshops or self-paced learning.

Software installation for data analysis is **complex** and involves **multiple dependencies**.

#### Cloud Administration Guides
Cloud Administration Guides will enable HPC workflows as "production" instances which can be used by institutional RSE, RDM or HPC Teams to run or support specialised skills modules with their own resources. The Guides will be supported by in person training by Cloud-SPAN systems administrators.

#### Learning Paths
You will have the flexibility to select different modules which differ in starting point and length to cater to researchers at a variety of careers stages with differing levels of previous experience.

HPC architectures **vary** between institutions and **accessibility is a lottery**.

#### Diversity Scholarships
Underrepresented groups in research and HPC will be eligible to apply for financial support in order to participate in online or in-person training. View further information on scholarships.

#### Code Retreats and Mentoring
Learners will have have the opportunity to attend code retreats and benefit from mentoring to provide them both the skills and the self-confidence to apply methods to their own research questions and data.

#### Community of Practice
We hope to establish a welcoming online community to support learners, including self-paced learners, in the application of training materials to their own research data.
