+== Rose Conversion Course == 
+
+Rose & Cylc are the replacement user interface and job submission/control system for the UMUI from UM version 10.x. NCAS-CMS ran a 1-day course for users already familiar with running the UM under the UMUI in September 2016, and it is our intention to run this course again in 2017. This course does not cover how the UM itself works so new users are encouraged to attend the UM Introduction Course instead. 
+
+The majority of the course will be hands-on exercises supplemented with lectures, covering the following topics: 
+- Overview of !Rose/Cylc
+- Creating & managing suites
+- How to configure, build and run a UM application
+- Examining Rose suite output
+- Common pitfalls and troubleshooting
