My new career is great! I have real job security, and that is hard to find these days. The feeling of security is good to have, but also being in a place where I am treated well, given respect, and enjoy going to work is great. It is very nice to be able to spend some real time with my family and friends. This would not be possible without ComputerTraining.edu.

When I was thinking about going to ComputerTraining.edu, my biggest concern was time. I had a family, and worked 55 hours per week. Squeezing in time for school was hard, and it was a big sacrifice. I made a commitment to myself- to make a better life for me and my family, and that is what drove me to be successful in school. ComputerTraining.edu helped me to become successful in my new career, and it is definitely rewarding!

For people who are thinking of going to ComputerTraining.edu, you need to decide if you want to make a better life for yourself. If you can make that commitment, then you will do well here. Everyone at ComputerTraining.edu is willing to help you succeed, and as long as you put in the effort, you will succeed.

Going to ComputerTraining.edu has made a big difference in my life, and in a very short time. Six months ago I was working a lot of hours in a restaurant, and now I have time to spend with my family. I made the sacrifice of going to school and working, but it has really paid off. It has given me the opportunity to go places that I never imagined I could go. I now have a very rewarding career, and job security to go with it! Choosing the field of Information Technology, and more importantly- choosing to go to ComputerTraining.edu was the right choice. I would recommend anyone with interest in computers to go to school there. "

"Before attending ComputerTraining.edu my computer background consisted of only daily user skills. I decided to change careers, because I knew working in residential finance would only take me so far, and I had bigger dreams for me and my family. I was terrified at the thought of changing careers to something I knew nothing about and was skeptical that ComputerTraining.edu could prepare me in six months, but once ComputerTraining.edu assisted me in landing my first IT job, I did not doubt for one second that I had the skills to be really good.

You think you’re happy at your current job until you’ve worked your new job as an IT professional and that light bulb goes off in you head saying “Ding! You’ve found your dream job.” What I enjoy most about my new career is that the possibilities are endless and everyone fits in somewhere.

My advice to new students would be that once you make this decision…don’t second guess yourself. It will make your life better. If you work hard, study hard, and have confidence in yourself and your dreams, anything you want is possible. ComputerTraining.edu has changed my life and I thank God I never chickened out because finally my dreams are coming true."

"Before ComputerTraining.edu, I was at a place in my life where I knew that I needed a change, but wasn’t quite sure exactly how to go about it. I’d always worked mainly in manual labor type jobs with the exception of several years in the securities business. After the meltdown of the markets in early 2000, my office was shut down due to a merger, so there I was again wondering what to do. Ambitious as I was, I decided to start my own contracting business. That was ok, but there I was back doing manual labor. With constant back pain, I new in my heart that I needed to find a “real” career where I could work hard using my mind instead of my back.

After hearing about ComputerTraining.edu on the radio, I decided to take the Online Skills Challenge and the rest is history. I met with the Director of Admissions and also spent some time with the instructor and Career Services, too. Everyone was upbeat and positive. I could tell they sincerely enjoyed helping people reach their potential. I must admit, I was very skeptical. In my mind I was thinking that this is all just a big sales push to get people in and get people out. That could not be further from the truth. Everyone there at ComputerTraining.edu was authentic; they genuinely loved helping others, and would stop at nothing to make sure I was successful.

Well, I guess I’ll sum it up by saying this: I came to ComputerTraining.edu with little knowledge of computers and a lot of determination. I needed a career where I used my brain and not my back; something that paid a decent salary and was always in demand; I needed a career that was challenging and had plenty of room for growth and improvement.

There’s one thing I’m absolutely sure of. If I had not taken that first step into your office at ComputerTraining.edu, I’d probably be stuck in some dead end job wondering what if?"

"Most of my experience had been working in auto body shops, before coming to ComputerTraining.edu. I had started from the bottom and worked my way up to assistant manager. I was making decent money, but I wasn’t really happy with what I was doing. Then a few months ago, when I got laid off, I had to make a decision about whether I wanted to stay in the auto body business, or switch over to IT, which I had always wanted to do. I had some money saved and decided to enroll in ComputerTraining.edu.

I love everything about what I’ve learned here. It takes a lot of time and effort to pick up all the details, but it’s definitely worth it. I’m so excited about my new career and I can’t believe that I’ve been afforded such a great opportunity. There is so much room for me to grow.

Before coming to school here, I was nervous that I wouldn’t have enough basic computer knowledge to succeed in the course. But after I came to class, I realized that everyone was just like me: people who enjoy playing around with their computers and that want to learn more about the IT field. I would tell incoming students that it is definitely worth it to dedicate yourself to the program,. There is a lot of studying that is necessary, but in the long run it pays off. You end up with a career that you truly want.

This program has given me a complete 180°. I went from the auto business to computers and it’s been really fun along the way. This is something that I always wanted to pursue and I hope that I keep doing this for a long time to come."

"When I was little I always loved messing around with computers so I went to college for Computer Information Systems Management. After receiving my degree I started working in my family’s mortgage business. For nine years I missed out on being happy at my job. I did not have a passion for the mortgage business like my family did. Everyday I could not wait to get home.

Now at my new job there is not enough time in a day. I'm continually faced with new obstacles and challenges and thanks to my knowledge and skills that I received from ComputerTraining.edu I'm ready to face the next challenge. It feels great waking up and wanting to go to work. For years now I thought everyone hated their jobs and you just go through the motions. Not anymore I love what I do and it's the best feeling doing something you love.

Going into the program I was nervous that I would not be able to keep up with the work load while working a full time job. After the first week I new that the teacher and the rest of the staff are there to help and they make you comfortable and confident that you will succeed in the course and in finding a new career. The staff takes the time to talk to you one on one and discuss how your doing and what needs to be done to get you in the right direction.

If your a new student entering into the program the best advise I could give you would be to take advantage of all the knowledge and experience your teacher and Director of Placement have to offer. Have fun while you learn and focus on what you need to do to succeed.

Everyday I go to work and I thank ComputerTraining.edu. When I finished college I didn't have the confidence to say “I can do it”. Now that I am about to graduate the ComputerTraining.edu program, I have the confidence and the skills to take my life to the next level."

"Computers have been a significant part of my life since childhood, but I had only fleetingly considered a career path in the field. After a lifelong series of dead-end jobs, ComputerTraining.edu seemed a logical endeavor to help put my overall knowledge to work for me in a professional setting.

Personally, I enjoy the security of knowing the IT sector will flourish, despite market trends or economic down-cycles. With the training I received during the course, I will always be employable in my chosen field.

The only concern I had entering the program was the sheer magnitude presented in the course curriculum. Once I dove in, however, my quest for a better career made it easier to stay the course and find a job I wanted.

This is my advice to fellow students... Stay focused on your immediate and long-term goals and pay attention to the wisdom readily available through the instructors and support staff at ComputerTraining.edu. They know what it takes to help us succeed, and they are willing to do all they can to guide us along the way.

The training I've received through the program has changed my life forever. I started working with about six weeks left in the course, and passed two certifications along the way. I now have a career path to plan, something to look forward to from a professional stand-point. No more dead-end jobs for this guy..."

"I first heard about ComputerTraining.edu on the radio, on my way to a job that hated. I had always thought about getting into the IT field but never really knew how I was going to do it. I already had one college degree that I wasn’t using, so the idea of going back to a traditional school didn’t appeal to me. The radio ad had raised my interest enough for me to look into it, so I decided to check it out.

The decision to enroll in the ComputerTraining.edu program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The certification geared training prepared me for the challenging Microsoft exams, helping me to earn the credentials to get started on a new exciting and rewarding career path. I am now in a position that I can build from to achieve my long term goals, and I have ComputerTraining.edu to thank for it."
