This means you are pending approval by your direct supervisor and your Servicing Administrative Officer (AO). View the email notification that you received from the Learning Management System. Once your request has been fully approved and a valid Common Accounting Number (CAN) has been entered, then you are eligible to be moved to the roster. This will occur if a seat is available at the top of the NEXT hour. If there are no seats remaining, your status will remain as waitlisted until a seat is available.

"Closed Enrollment" trainings have been set up by one particular IC, for that IC's employees only. If you belong to that IC, you can attend. Registration for your IC's closed enrollment is usually free of charge and requires no approval in the system.

Speakers are all nominated by staff with final recommendations made to Dr. Alfred Johnson, NIH’s Deputy Director for Management. There is a committee comprised of senior administrative leaders that review all nominations. Strong consideration is given to those speakers that offer the NIH community an interesting perspective on a specific leadership or management issue or challenge. Cost and availability are always considered when selecting speakers.

The MTI helps employees determine the mandatory training courses they are required to complete based on where they work at NIH, as well as their full time equivalent (FTE) category, supervisory role, and job activities. Detailed information is provided to employees through the MTI for each course in the database.

Certain job activities may have the same or similar courses. As a result, you may see a required training displayed more than once. To change the courses that are displayed, use the "hyperlinks" at the top of the training course screen and select the "Position Activity" link to change your selections. You can also cut and paste your print friendly version into a spreadsheet and delete the rows of training that do not apply to you.
