01
Course 1

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

This intermediate-level course provides a thorough overview of the field of Next Generation Sequencing, covering its properties, strengths, major applications, and an overview of a typical sequencing workflow.

What you’ll learn
  • Review the genetic concepts required to understand NGS and explore the development of the first generations of DNA sequencing methods.
  • Explore and understand the motivation and fundamental basis of NGS, current and emerging sequencing technologies, alongside their advantages and potential biases that may affect their accuracy.
  • Learn the typical workflow of NGS, from sample preparation and high-quality library creation to post-sequencing quality control and data management.
  • Gain familiarity with the major applications of NGS, which include, among others, transcriptomic analysis by RNA-Seq, genomic variation discovery by Whole Genome Sequencing, and epigenomics.
  • Discover what the future of NGS may hold by covering the current changing landscape of NGS and the rapid evolution of data analysis bioinformatics tools.

Course 2

Genomics

Genomics is the foundational and most well-established of all the omics disciplines. It involves the study of entire genomes, integrating key elements of genetics. From the basics to genetic manipulations and next-generation sequencing, this course offers comprehensive insights into the field and its real-world applications in clinical settings.

What you’ll learn
  • Learn the basics of genetics and gene expression.
  • Understand the fundamentals of genome function.
  • Understand the techniques of genome manipulation and next-generation sequencing.
  • Learn about the practical and clinical applications of genomics.

Course 3

Molecular Biology Techniques

This course is a beginner’s guide to the various experimental techniques used in molecular biology research. To conduct laboratory research in molecular biology, a researcher must be proficient in basic wet lab techniques. This course provides practical guidance on the key concepts behind these techniques and teaches learners how to perform them in laboratory settings.

What you’ll learn
  • The basic concepts underlying various molecular biology techniques.
  • How to prepare bacterial cell cultures, perform transformations, and screen transformants.
  • How to isolate nucleic acids from different sources and their purification techniques.
  • An overview of analytical techniques, including protein and nucleic acid sequencing.
  • The role of recombinant DNA technology in advancing animal and plant biotechnology.

Common questions

Will I receive a certificate for each course?

Yes. You will receive an individual CPD-accredited certificate for each successfully completed course. Once you have completed all courses in the programme, you will also receive an additional CBEHx Professional Certificate recognising the full learning pathway and its combined CPD learning hours. Read more in the Support Centre

Are the courses CPD-accredited?

Yes. Each course included in the programme is individually CPD-accredited. The additional consolidated Professional Certificate is issued by CBEHx and records the courses completed and their combined CPD learning hours. Read more in the Support Centre

Can my previous learning count?

No. Courses purchased or completed individually before enrolling in a Professional Certificate Programme do not count towards its requirements. To receive the consolidated CBEHx Professional Certificate, you must purchase the complete programme and successfully complete all included courses, or complete the requirements through an eligible annual subscription. Previously awarded individual course certificates remain valid. Read more in the Support Centre

Can I buy courses individually?

Yes. All constituent courses remain available for individual purchase. However, courses purchased individually do not count towards a Professional Certificate Programme, and individual purchases do not include the consolidated Professional Certificate. To earn it, purchase the complete programme or meet the requirements through an eligible annual subscription. Read more in the Support Centre

How long can I access the courses?

Standalone Professional Certificate purchases provide 12 months of course access from enrolment, subject to the published terms. If you access the courses through a subscription, access continues while your subscription remains active. Certificates already earned remain valid after access ends. Read more in the Support Centre
