Looking for open courses in biology and bioinformatics

Apologies if this post is pretty niche, but I didn't really know where else to put it. Anyways, just started a PhD in France, and I'm required to have 100 training hours (courses, conferences, teaching, etc). Courses are required to be at least 50 hours, and my PI recommended that I try to do a lot of that this summer as she'll be on maternity leave.

All of the courses that I found remotely interesting at my uni were taught in French, which I don't speak, though I can get things like online courses approved. Does anybody know of a database that catalogues courses like this, particularly in biology or computer science/data analytics? Ideally courses with a decent reputation since I wouldn't want the hours to get rejected. In person stuff could also be cool as I have travel funding

Edit to appease the automod bot: I study in France. In person courses could realistically be anywhere in Europe as long as it's English. Online ofc is online. I do Bayesian phylogenetic methods, mostly looking into morphological and joint inference. Yadda yadda evolutionary bio, paleontology, data analysis and management, statistics, yadda yadda
