You are right. Anfängerinnen is the plural of the word Anfängerin.
This could be either:
Capitalized I is there because of gendering.
It is to emphasize that both Male and Female persons are being addressed.
But normallyAs alternative you would write it like:
Anfänger*innen
Anfänger-(innen)
Anfänger/-innen [repeated to get a visual "complete" list]
Anfängerinnen und Anfänger (as "ladies first")
Anfänger/ Anfängerinnen
Anfänger (as "generic masculinum")
Or which is moreless likely:
Capitalized I is there to emphasize that they are only looking for female students.
Hard to say without context.
