Over the last 2 years, LHC experiments have released large batches of data from real LHC collision events. These data are available to the public on the open data portal and can be used for educational purposes. During the current semester, the Technical University of Dortmund in Germany is offering its Master's students an 8-hour lab course, which uses open data from the ATLAS experiment.
