The course uses GitHub Codespaces as a free, ready-to-use training environment, eliminating the need for software installation and configuration—only a web browser and a GitHub account are required.

  • Learn at your own pace: Instructor-led videos will be available on YouTube, guiding you through key Nextflow concepts.
  • Get live support: Our staff and Nextflow Ambassadors across multiple time zones will be available to answer questions in the Community Forum and on Zoom office hours.
  • Work as a group: We encourage teams, labs, and local groups to work through the course together virtually or in person.
