BioSS training course timetable for 2024-25
Please find below the list of courses that we will be running during the academic year 2024-25. We will be adding courses during the year, so please revisit this page for future dates and locations.
If you are interested in attending any of our courses, please register your interest and you will be alerted when it is timetabled.
Courses with a greater level of interest are more likely to be timetabled. If your organisation has a training officer, also ask them to contact us if they would like to explore the potential relevance of our training across a wider group of staff.
If you want to attend one of the courses listed please book on the course if your supervisor/manager agrees.
For a summary of course charges please go to this page. Note that charges will apply to non-SEFARI staff.
BioSS will run courses, on request, for specific groups of people. These can also be adapted for your specific requirements. If interested, please contact our training course coordinators.
Please continue to register interest in a topic even if a course is full. If another participant drops out, we will alert you; alternatively, if there is enough interest we will consider running the course multiple times.
