====== Courses & Trainings ======
OOFEM.org is preparing training courses for Ph.D. students, engineers interested in simulation and researchers to allow them to quickly acquire the knowledge and practical skills necessary to employ OOFEM. Participants will learn how to create, analyze and post-process models. Moreover, they will understand the OOFEM code structure and they will learn how to implement custom material models, elements, boundary conditions, or solvers. 

The courses will be delivered by a team of skilled OOFEM developers. Participants will receive high-quality course materials. No prior knowledge of OOFEM is required; however, a basic knowledge of C++ is highly recommended.
