Computer Classes on Campus this Summer
Summer routines in the lab or office are often a bit less hectic, making it a great time to update and expand computer skills by taking some of the courses available through the CIT Computer Training Program. More than 85 subjects are taught, all offered without charge. Registration is easy — enroll via the Web at http://training.cit.nih.gov, by phone, or by sending or faxing in the form printed on the back of the program catalog.
