Registration for courses

How do I register or apply for a course?

You can access the registration link without logging in to the platform. Just access the catalogue, choose your desired course, click on the registration link and provide the requested information.

Why can't I access or register for a course?

For registration to Live-Online and Presential Trainings, you must make sure you are using the appropriate Microsoft account for that course on Microsoft Forms. For example, registration for the Cluster courses require users to log in with their CRG Microsoft account because the course is restricted to CRG users (Not open to EMBL Barcelona).

For Offline Trainings located in the CRG Learning Platform, you must have an account AND be logged in.

I do not have a CRG/EMBL email address yet, can I still apply/register to courses?

Yes, when asked in the registration form what is your Institute, you can choose “Other”. Later on, you can provide a personal email address and specify in the comment section about your current situation. This will allow us to consider your application.

I do not have yet a DNI/NIE, can I still apply/register to courses?

Yes, you can use any valid identification number in case you do not have a NIE yet.

How can I check whether my course application was received?

After you finished the registration via Microsoft Forms, the screen will show you a message like this: “Thank you for registering for [NAME OF THE COURSE] course”. If you are still unsure whether your application was received, contact training@crg.eu. TAO can check whether the application was submitted successfully.

Will a course be offered again?

Some courses are repeated periodically, while others are organized only when there is sufficient demand or need. Check the Training CRG catalogue for upcoming editions.

Language courses

Who can apply for the language courses?

Only CRG and EMBL Barcelona staff/collaborators can apply to and freely participate in the language courses. These are NOT open to external participants.

What are the attendance requirements for language courses?

A minimum attendance of 75% per month (based on connections to classes) is required. IF you do not comply, you will not be able to enroll in the next edition of the course.

If I don't meet the language-course attendance requirement, can I apply again?

If you did not meet the conditions of i.e. edition 1, you are not allowed to apply/attend edition 2. However, you can apply to edition 3.
