In the lead-up to the event, UWA CSSE will run an intensive training programme in order to prepare contestants for the competition. There are two types of sessions: tutorial-like presentations on Tuesday evenings, and mock competitions on Saturday mornings. Tuesday sessions discuss algorithmic concepts via short informal presentations and selected worked examples. Saturday sessions act as mock competitions, providing contestants with valuable competition-like practice in teams. Tuesday sessions start at 5pm and last 1-3 hours; Saturday sessions start promptly at 10am and last 5 hours.

Last years notes are available here. The tentative schedule for this year is:
