Under the patronage of the IT Center, the fIT team at RWTH Aachen University (fit in IT) has been offering free IT training for RWTH students since the summer semester of 2008. The team is made up of student assistants who organize themselves independently to a large extent. The courses teach the use of common IT programs as well as presentation techniques. This should help to use the own resources and those of the RWTH more effectively.
The project is financed by quality improvement funds from the state of NRW. These serve to improve teaching and study conditions.
Today, IT competence increasingly represents one of the fundamental key qualifications. Whether for successful studies or professional opportunities: the routine mastery of the tool PC and its software as well as the reliable information retrieval on the Internet are of enormous importance.
