We have an online Moodle course "Introduction to the Unix Shell" and infrequently provide a training course aimed at getting users up and running on one of our main clusters. "Introduction to the Unix Shell (Moodle) (UCL users), GitHub-Pages (non-UCL users), additional resources can be found on UCL mediacentral.

We have an online Moodle course "Introduction to High Performance Computing at UCL" aimed at getting users comfortable with using HPC at UCL. "Introduction to High Performance Computing at UCL" (Moodle) (UCL users), UCL mediacentral and search for "HPC" (non-UCL users).

We run some instances of these courses between specified dates with scheduled online tutorial sessions or they can be done self-service at any time.
