NQCC's online quantum skills course registration of interest form

You can use this form to apply for a free NQCC licence for the 'Black Opal' online quantum computing course.

Please note that these licences are only available to those who reside or study in the UK.

You will have a maximum of 3 months to complete the course, after which your licence will expire. All of your progress will be saved, and there is the option to re-apply to re-activate your access to the course after expiration. Please note that licences are allocated in monthly batches, so you may not receive your invite immediately upon completing the registration form.

If you are granted free access to the interactive online quantum skills course, the NQCC will request that you fill in a survey upon course completion to collect feedback to aid evaluation as well as improve future programmes of activities.
