Registration Details
As there are limited seats for Part 2, we are prioritizing these seats for registrants that are interested in both Part 1 and Part 2 so both Parts can be completed in tandem. Registration is currently open for Part 1, only, and for Part 1 + Part 2. Registration for Part 2, only, will open in late July.
To ensure registrants can take full advantage of Part 2, a skill assessment will be required for participation in Part 2. The assessment will be available online and designed to demonstrate understanding of basic coding skills and bioinformatics concepts. You will receive feedback on your skill assessment and can re-submit multiple times ahead of the mid-September deadline. Details to follow!
Registration fees include access to the course, course materials, and access to course lectures on-demand for 12 weeks after the conclusion of the course.
Is Part 2 full? , and AAI will contact you if a seat becomes available.
Please contact education@aai.org with any questions.
