Postgraduate Training Programme

This programme provides postgraduates and researchers with the skills required to join the online research community, harness the web and utilise its potential. Such skills are essential for future employability.

The programme is designed to be flexible and is customised to suit the training requirements of each individual institution. A tailored programme may include all or a selection from the sessions.

We will run the programme to suit your training requirements. The programme may run as an intensive course over consecutive days or over a number of training sessions.

Each session involves presentations, discussion and a hands-on practical element. A workbook is provided for the programme, including all presentation slides, hands-on exercises, plus extra reference material.

Where is it run?

Netskills specialise in delivering the training you want, where you want it! We will travel to your institution to run the programme.

A training facility with a networked computer and projector is required for the trainer as well as IT provision for each attendee.
