| This article introduces a number of different *formal*, online courses with material relevant to High Performance Computing (HPC) and Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). | ||
| The difference between formal courses and other online training material is the quality, and organization of training resources as well as access to subject matter experts through Q&A forums or regular office hours. | ||
| Some of the material relates to the basic skills needed to *use* HPC/CSE resources while other materials relate to advanced skills needed to develop HPC/CSE software. | ||
| Several of the courses are free and self-paced. | ||
| Others may involve a registration fee, provide a certificate of completion or continuing education credits and/or may be available only during specific events. | ||
