Course duration and format

Supercomputing Academy courses take place over 3 to 6 weeks, with approximately 10 hours of learning content per week. You will be trained by and receive direct support from experts at the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS). This includes the exclusive opportunities to access their knowledge, ask questions, learn from their combined decades of experience concerning best practices, and network with other computational researchers in industry.

Hands-on practice on HLRS's systems

We place special emphasis on the close integration of theory and practice, which is why in most of our courses you can complete practical exercises on our training cluster in a productive environment without any risk or extra costs.

Build your curriculum and become an "HPC Expert"

Every course participant will receive a confirmation of participation. Participants who complete the course content, submit the exercises successfully, and pass the exam will be awarded an additional certificate.

Upon the successful completion of multiple modules, participants can also earn special certifications, including the titles of HPC User, HPC Admin, HPC Developer or even HPC Expert. These certifications can be extremely beneficial when looking for new job opportunities or applying for a higher position within your company.
