A complete list of courses currently available can be found on our website, http://training.cit.nih.gov. While there, you can register for classes, join the CIT Training Mailing list, and check your transcript or current application status.

Most of the courses offered through our program are free of charge to NIH staff. While NIH employees get first priority for classes, contractors are welcome to attend when space is available, the class is related to their NIH work, and they have appropriate approval.

Looking ahead

CIT Training will be debuting on-demand Office 2010 how-to videos. Each video is captioned and no longer than 10 minutes. We look forward to your comments when they are available. Please stay tuned for more information on accessing the videos.
