If you are unable to get to any scheduled IT Training sessions, individual tuition can be arranged to take place at a time and place to suit you. If you want to get up to speed quickly in a particular software application or system, the training can be tailored to your needs. IT Training can run a special course on a topic if several people in your department (staff or students) need it. The training is usually held in the IT Training rooms unless you wish to host it in your own space.
