JAX Online Minicourses
Free of charge and designed to meet the needs of graduate and post-doctoral students, research assistants, advanced undergraduate students, and animal care technicians.
The JAX MiniCourses and Certificates offers access to online learning modules based on the live lectures JAX delivers each year in our Courses and Workshops. These modules enable learners to engage online at any time and at their own pace, search for specific content, document progress through digital badges, and bundle courses into certificates to demonstrate a deeper knowledge of key topics.
