Most CIT Computer Training courses are free of charge to the NIH Community. Please make note when selecting courses to check the tuition section. If you are from another HHS operating division, please contact CIT Training.

The CIT Computer Training Program welcomes volunteer instructors from CIT and throughout NIH. Without the volunteers, who comprise 75% of our faculty, it would not be possible to offer this large and varied program to NIH and its computing community. If you have expertise you would be willing to consider sharing, please let us know.

We are happy to extend this opportunity to NIH contractors, as well. We'll work with you to ensure that there are no contract limitations or other restrictions that may prevent our students from benefiting from your knowledge.

We have extensive instructor support services (e.g. obtaining publications for instructors, polishing course descriptions, duplicating notes, setting up projection systems, providing hands-on practice facilities) to make efficient use of your time and make your presentation effective. Let us know how we can help!

CIT facilitates IT training for courses not offered through the CIT Training Program.
