The scientific studies related to the subject have been reached by the databases that include academic publications in the fields of social science and education. The results and suggestions parts of 51 publications, which are identified as related to the subject from the databases, have been formed the findings of this study. The data obtained have been analyzed by using the PIE model which stands for planning, implementation and evaluation. The technical infrastructure, proper and ready environment, scheduling ISTs at available times of trainees, using distance education methods and evaluation of the trainees at the end of the course are the main factors that present the quality of IST within the scope of ICT.
