BEN organises on a monthly basis training sessions for beginners and advanced users.
In its present form, the course is spread over two days, consisting of introductory
seminars followed by training sessions, where each attendant will have the use of a personal computer workstation.
The notes of the tutorial are regularly updated and freely accessible in our FTP site.
BEN occasionally organizes courses "on location". If you are interested in a course
to be held at your institution, contact our Team.
