Google is organising a series of virtual training courses through webinars in April and May aimed at startup founders and their teams.

The company says that interactive sessions will cover a wide range of areas and will feature Google tools and products such as Google Analytics, Google Ads and Google Cloud as well as training around topics such as funding, expanding internationally and becoming an effective founder.

The courses will be online on Wednesdays and Thursdays for six weeks starting on April 13.

The size of each session is capped so that all participants have an opportunity to ask questions and interact with instructors.

A number of the training sessions will be led by entrepreneurs, including Pat Phelan, Co-Founder at SISU Aesthetic Clinic; Alison Sheehy, Digital Marketing Lead at GYM+COFFEE; and Ryan Scott, CEO of Dropchef.
