I am on the hunt for some free online training resources for HCAI / IPC / AMR / AMS / IPC, at a basic, intermediate, or advanced level. Here’s a summary of what I’ve unearthed so far.
Disclaimer: I have done exactly none of these courses, so I can’t vouch for them in any way – except to say that they exist!
HCAI / IPC
- Scottish Infection Prevention and Control Education Pathway.
- CDC TRAIN.
- Webber Training.
- Future Learn (various courses on HCAI and AMR).
- PHE run a range of courses in HCAI and AMR (which are not free).
- E-learning for Health course on IPC.
AMR / AMS
- A training resource guide on antimicrobial resistance from Health Education England (this is excellent)!
- Clinical Antibiotic Stewardship for South Africa.
- E-learning for Health course on AMR.
Please feel free to flag other resources in the comments.

Reflections on Infection Prevention and Control 
There are a few good courses FOC on Coursera (www.coursera.org) listed below.
Antimicrobial Stewardship: Optimization of Antibiotic Practices (Stanford University)
Antimicrobial resistance – theory and methods (Technical University of Denmark (DTU))
I have heard good things about their Biofilms in Chronic Infections, but haven’t taken it myself and may not be exactly what you are looking for.

When I looked for online courses, the one I considered most complete was CBIC (Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology):
https://www.cbic.org/
https://www.cbic.org/certification/examination-application
Only the initial certification is possibile online.
