Group Training/Closed Enrollment

Group Training/Closed Enrollments (IC Closed Enrollment Group Training)
 

What’s the difference between an Open Enrollment and a Closed Enrollment class? 

Open Enrollments (OE)

This training is offered to the entire NIH community, providing the benefit of wider networking opportunities with participants across all NIH ICs. They are offered frequently throughout the year.

Closed Enrollments (CE)

This training is exclusively for an IC and their employees. A majority of classes in the NIHTC Course Catalog can be offered as Closed Enrollment offerings for your IC.

Group Training/Closed Enrollment(CE) Requirements:
 

Attendance:  A minimum number of 20 participants are required for most Closed Enrollments. However, several Closed Enrollments are conducted with fewer participants.
Cost:  Similar to open enrollment class tuition, there is a cost associated with closed enrollment offerings, which varies per course.
Timeframe:  A lead time of at least 8-10 weeks is required prior the training to allow for scheduling and logistics.
Promotion:  Each IC should create a plan on how to market the training to their staff.

My IC meets the requirements for a Group Training/Closed Enrollment. Now what?
