Training by Appointment (Stanford Information Technology Services) The Training by Appointment (TBA) program is available to the entire Stanford community. It matches you with an expert instructor for a one-on-one tutorial. You choose your own learning objectives, register for a 90-minute training appointment, and bring your own documents, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, or web pages to learn how to troubleshoot them. Fees are based on 90-minute sessions and can be covered by STAP, department, or Hospital Tuition Assistance funds.
