Technical Training and How-Tos

Resources for technical training available

Life Sciences Computing can provide informal training classes on commonly used applications or tools used by the department. These are usually advertised via email or as events on the department website. In addition, department members have access to many online training options. You can access current technical books, and access hands-on learning modules through UCLA OARC Training site, and answer many of your own questions using the IT Support Center Knowledge Base or the Campus Knowledge Base.
