Online Courses Frequently Asked Questions

No. 

Courses provided by IT Training are ongoing and self-paced. There is no start or end date for learning the content.

NOTE: Due to software updates or changing needs of users, some content might become unavailable after a certain date. This allows us to keep our course catalog up-to-date and consistently provide users with instruction on the latest topics and practices.

Our courses, by themselves, are not available for academic credit. Enrolling and taking IT Training courses via IU Expand will not grant academic credit to participants.

The exception to this rule: An instructor of an academic course can import our course content into an academic course via Canvas Commons and require that students complete certain exercises as a course assignment.

All IT Training Online courses include:

  • Step-by-step instruction
  • Exercise files to allow you to work along
  • Instructional videos for reinforcement
  • Quizzes to check comprehension

Each course is fully online and self-paced. One course may take two to four hours if completed in its entirety. Content can be explored in shorter, non-sequential segments as well. 

Since IT Training courses do not have a start or end date, there is no deadline for completion. Complete the course content at your convenience. Once you are enrolled, you are enrolled for as long as you have an IU user or guest account.

If you get stuck in one of our courses, please contact the IU Support Center

 

Of course! After completing a course, you will remain enrolled. Feel free to log in to either review the content, use it as a reference, or take the course again.

You can also access the content of the courses directly from the course descriptions in the Explore Topics catalog.

You can access the course content without enrolling in a course by finding the course description on the Explore Topics catalog
