Globally, The main challenge in bioinformatics eduction is setting the curriculum. Today, the majority of bioinformatics teaching is at the postgraduate level, and students tend to enroll in these programs with different backgrounds, introducing challenges for both the learner and the instructor. Other challenges include the breadth of the discipline, and the fast-pace of evolution of the field. In Africa, there is also Shortage of trained bioinformaticians and infrastructural problems; even though there are Different MSc and PhD program, short courses and collaborative degrees. Conferences and workshops also are held annually. Also, initiatives such as H3ABioNet which focus to build human capacity in bioinformatics in Africa. Solution to these issues could be in the form of Continuing mentorship and support (short courses, joint programs and others), Internship programs, Knowledge transfer via visiting scientists:, E-learning. \cite{Tastan_Bishop_2014}
For a successful short bioinformatics training, it is essential to set practical, realistic expectations for learners, and assuring they meet the course scope. It is also essential to plan exercises and assure preparedness of computational resources before delivery. Bioinformatics resources and tools can be exploited as a learning opportunity, while balancing concepts and practical outcomes. Contextual and real-world examples also help in reinforce learning., in addition to the relevance of the methods and tools to the trainee's experience and research needs. Reflection time, independent thinking and problem solving are all essential skills that need to be encouraged \cite{Via_2011}
