Upskilling opportunities in the most in-demand research computing topics.

Skills & training

OUR WORKSHOPS
Focus Areas

Machine Learning and Applied AI use data-driven algorithms to model and predict outcomes, and are applied to solve complex problems and enhance real-world decision-making.

Machine Learning & Applied AI

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. For researchers it offers a path to automating processes and repeat tasks for reproducibility and efficiency.

Python for Scientific Computing

SPSS is a powerful statistical software package widely used for conducting statistical analysis across multiple disciplines, including health, social sciences, and business research.

SPSS Statistical Series

R is a widely used, open-source programming language valued across scientific fields for its strength in statistical analysis and data visualisation.

R for Reproducible Research

Accelerating analysis by leveraging automation, reproducible workflows or high-performance computing can extend the scale and impact of research. Learn how to make the most of command line tools, version control and parallel computing with essential research computing skills.

Research Computing

Bringing together biology, chemistry, computer science and statistics, bioinformatics aims to answer research questions from large and complex biological datasets.

Bioinformatics

The success of research relies on what comes before and after analysis - data and communication. Consider major factors, such as how data is captured, stored and communicated with workshops on sensitive data, research databases such as REDCap, and the psychology behind impactful communication of findings.

ALL LEVELS
Training

We offer an extensive catalogue of practical workshops, providing frequent and accessible training in high-demand topics such as programming, statistics, machine learning, data management, and bioinformatics. 

Partnerships
Pink Poppy Flowers

Through a training partnership with the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI), QCIF have developed and delivered a series of workshops in key topics of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and High Performance Computing. These workshops are available to all Australian researchers or existing researchers using NCI.

QCIF has partnered with Instats, an online seminar and consultancy platform, to deliver our expert training to all learners, researcher or student, Australian or international. These seminars are delivered online and recorded for on-demand access to accommodate busy schedules.

BEYOND TRAINING
Building Communities

Beyond training, the QCIF Skills Development team builds communities of practice and coordinates PhD internship placement programs, creating opportunities for researchers to connect, collaborate, and apply their skills in real-world environments.
