My supervisor requires that I account for all training hours. Is there a way to document my attendance?

IT Services offers, upon request, a personalized certificate of workshop completion. The training certificate is solely a means of demonstrating accomplishment and becomes available to participants upon successful completion of any ITS workshop. If you would like a certificate, please see the instructor at the end of your session.

Is prior knowledge of the workshop topic required?

Some of the IT workshops do have prerequisites. Prerequisites, if applicable, will be listed directly below the workshop description on the training website. Under certain circumstances, it is possible for an instructor to waive a workshop's restrictions. If interested, please contact the workshop instructor for permission.
