IT Services provides training on many of the systems we support including: instructor-led courses, online learning courses (OLC) available via myCourses, and self-serve videos. The courses we offer are not for credit toward any degree or program, however successful completion of most courses is required to gain access to a given McGill IT system.

McGill faculty, staff and students
Courses are listed in the IT Training Index. Read the course description for any prerequisites.
Registration for most courses is done through Minerva.
If your department would like a training session for a group (minimum of 5) we can have an instructor come to your location. Please submit the IT Services system training registration (Special request) form.
Certain courses offer the ability to register into a waitlist when there are no section currently scheduled.
Once new sections are scheduled, you will be advised to register to one of the newly added sections and registration to the waitlist will be deleted.
In rare situations, waitlist participants may be enrolled automatically in a schedule section. This includes limited courses, certain ITM courses and other scenarios. Please take note of the instructions in your waitlist registration email.
There is no cost associated with this service.
You will receive an email upon successful cancellation of a course.
NOTE: If you are unable to attend the workshop you are scheduled for, please cancel your registration so that someone else may attend. If you are unable to cancel or have to cancel within 48 hours, please contact the trainer via email.
Unfortunately, there might not be any course sections available for certain courses. If you wish to register to a course and there are not dates available:
We can't promise we will be able to provide a training session immediately but we will get back to you with options.
Before you request training registration:
Refer to the *Index of IT training courses and select a course to see its availability. If there are no sessions scheduled, consider putting your name on the wait list on Minerva.
Staff: Obtain supervisor approval
We strongly recommend that any staff pursuing online training offered through IT discuss the time requirements with their supervisors to ensure adequate time will be allotted for completion of all the available material. This will ensure the greatest potential for training success and increase the employee's effective use of his or her time.
