HLRS concept for flexible learning

Flexible learning

This course offers flexible learning, allowing you to learn at your own pace and access online course materials and cluster resources. Web-seminars are held weekly to discuss the learning modules and to answer your questions. We also provide forum channels that enable you to communicate with the lecturer and peers, as well as to share your experiences.

Learning duration

The course is divided into four learning units of 10 hours each. Participants can learn the individual learning content on their own schedule. In addition, this course has fixed dates for virtual seminars and the exam.

Certificate & confirmation of participation

The High-Performance Computing Center (HLRS) issues participants a confirmation of participation if they have joined all seminars and hand in at least 50% of the assignments, as well as a course certificate if they have passed the exam at the end of the course.
