Self study resources for researchers

We have created a document that maps out some of the most useful online courses available for researchers seeking to hone their skills. These are external resources and we cannot guarantee access, but most were freely available at the time of writing. This document is a work in progress, and we'd value any feedback you can offer to improve it.
