Group Training/Closed Enrollment

IC Group Training/Closed Enrollment (CE)

There are two types of class offerings at the NIH Training Center (NIHTC): 

  • Open Enrollment - Offerings available for all NIH staff to register for.
  • Closed Enrollment – Offerings made available exclusively for an IC staff by request.
How to request a Closed Enrollment course for your IC?
Interest: 

Review the NIHTC Course Catalog to determine a class of interest. 

Some NIHTC classes are not offered as Closed Enrollments (review below).

Inquire: 

Complete the Group Training/Closed Enrollment Inquiry Form.

The form is required for NIH TC to learn more about the IC’s training and development needs. Completing the form does not guarantee an approval to conduct a CE class. 

Email us: Contact the Closed Enrollment Program Manager at NIHTC-GroupTraining@nih.gov for any additional information or schedule time during office hours.
Questions:  Not sure if a Group Training/Closed Enrollment is the right choice, simply email us at the NIHTrainingCenter@nih.gov  with your questions.


Considerations for Closed Enrollments Trainings: 

  • Majority of the NIHTC courses in the Course Catalog can be offered as closed enrollments.
  • Most require a minimum of 20 participants to run the training.
  • A lead time of at least 8-10 weeks is required to allow for scheduling and logistics.
  • IC POC should plan on how to market the training to their staff. Consider our IC Group Training Marketing Template for internal promotion.
  • The Cost associated varies per course.
