Research Skills Training Resources

Epigeum
The Epigeum Research Skills toolkit (courses) are listed on the Researcher Development Centre portal, along with access instructions (select ‘learner’ page, and then ‘self-paced’).
https://nuigalwayie.sharepoint.com/sites/rdc/SitePages/Epigeum-Research-Skills-Toolkit.aspx 
Access instructions are the same for all modules i.e. once the student registers on the Epigeum platform, you will be able to see all available modules, and download a Certificate of Completion for each module from the Epigeum platform, if that is required as evidence of completion.
Some Epigeum modules may be on Canvas. Supervisors have ‘view’ and ‘read’ access, while research students have ‘enrol’ and ‘certificate of completion’ entitlements.
