openEHR was something I wish I’d learned earlier in my career.
I read the specs, watched every talk I could find, and still felt something was missing.
I tried paid courses too. I finished the lessons, but when the real questions appeared the course was already over. How do I run a local openEHR server? How do I model archetypes and templates? How do I query with AQL? How do I use openEHR in my own app?
Do these sound like questions you’ve asked yourself?

I’ve already put out a lot of free material to help people with openEHR: training and resources, blog posts, and deep‑dives on our YouTube channel.
The openEHR Bootcamp is for people who learn best by building. It’s a focused 10‑week program where we build five real‑world applications together.
Purchase the course and start building today. Unlock access to all lessons, resources, and updates for this cohort.
If none of these apply, keep reading.
We offer a no‑questions‑asked refund within seven days if you are not satisfied.
On completion you receive a certificate that our partner organisations recognise.

Do I need to know how to code?
Coding helps, but many clinicians now build apps with AI tools. You will need to submit working assignments, and we are here to guide you.
What if I miss a live session?
Sessions are recorded and posted within thirty minutes. You can also submit a recording of your demos to us and it’ll be played at the demo classes.
How do I get help if I am stuck?
Use Slack for quick support or book a one‑on‑one call with an instructor.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Anytime. No questions asked.
If you have any more concerns, you can always get in touch.
