UA CBT

UA Computer-Based Training (CBT) offers free computer training to UA students, faculty, and staff. Currently the UA has a contract with the Virtual Training Center to provide access to over 700 courses and 14,200 video tutorials, covering a broad range of topics and applications. Most tutorials have between five and fifteen hours of content. Each tutorial is divided into lessons from 2-10 minutes long on average. The tutorials are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Each lesson is available as a Flash or QuickTime movie (.mov file) that opens in a new browser window. You may open and work in a software application while watching the lesson and may stop, start, rewind, and review each lesson as often as desired.

Visit the UA CBT Website for more information or log in to the Virtual Training Center with your NetID.
