Required Export Training

Export training is an annual requirement.  All personnel that work on or have access to export controlled information are required to participate in annual training.  While the frequency has not changed and remains an annual requirement, the course offerings and platforms available have changed over the past few years and will continue to change to meet the needs of the Institute.  The goal of the training is to educate and provide awareness to personnel of their responsibilities to safeguard and prevent inadvertent or inappropriate disclosure of controlled items, information or technical data.   

All personnel are required to take the basic course initially.  Refresher trainings will be taken for two years after an initial training. On the third year, individuals will be required to retake the initial training.

The instructions that follow will help you register for CITI, locate the training, and ensure you get credit for the course.
