ITS Technical Certification is for UNCG staff who have IT responsibilities as part of their job descriptions and support their departments in this capacity. Registration requires the submission of a letter from your department head. The letter is located in 6-TECH Online. Click on the UNCG Forms tab and look in the Miscellaneous section. Your registration will not be complete until the training coordinator receives the letter. Your registration will be confirmed by the training coordinator when the letter is received. Workshops cover the following topics:

At the conclusion of the training, both a written and hands-on assessment will be required. A certificate will be issued to those who complete the training and pass the assessments. With this certification, participants will gain access to some of the same technical tools and information that ITS technical staff use to build and maintain machines on campus.
