"Being a self-taught computer person I sometimes thought about what it must be like to do this for a living. After thinking about where I might find myself in 10-30 years I began to really think about getting into the IT field but unfortunately never really figured out how to "break-in"to the IT field. That's when I heard about ComputerTraining.edu from a local radio station. One online test later found myself sitting in front of the Director of Admissions desk as she explained to me the entire program. She was able to answer all of my questions very thoroughly and gave me an excellent idea as to what to expect from the class and what was expected from myself. After thinking about it for a few days I decided to give it my all and proceed into the IT field with the skills I would soon learn from ComputerTraining.edu.
Upon entering the classroom my expectations fell short when I learned my class was quite large fearing I would be "left behind". This fear was soon put into the back of my mind as the class, as a whole, learned that the trainer truly cared for all of our education. He took the "very wordy" book lingo and broke each piece down so I was able to understand it fully. His constant encouragement and expertise from knowledge and experience was something I don't think you can get from your average IT school. Also the Career Services was an added bonus. There's not many places that offer this kind of "unlimited" services to there students. Again another ComputerTraining.edu's employee, the Director of Placement, had a vast amount of knowledge and expertise in how to apply, how to interview, and how to build a resume was like an added bonus. The fact that she took the time to do mock interviews and insisted on being kept in the loop as to be able to keep your information up to date showed me that she truly cared about her job. All of these people have made an impact on my life and driven me to get into the IT field and do my best to further my capabilities. So in short, I went from a truck driver who was constantly scared of raising fuel prices and businesses closing to a confident IT professional who is currently working a Tier 1 Helpdesk who is hoping to only climb up that ladder of success.
I would like to take this time to thank everyone at ComputerTraining.edu for there valued time, expertise, and caring attitude that has and will continue to drive me forward in pursuing my dream job in the IT field."

"I did a couple of entry level computer courses in college, but nothing as in depth as ComputerTraining.edu. My life needed stability and a career that I could grow in. This is what ComputerTraining.edu offered.
I had some doubts that I could keep up with the course work and pass the exams at first, but the instructor made in possible and always found the perfect way of explaining things and relating to the material. This program is definitely worth it."

"My computer background consisted of basic home use, one job doing minor technical support, and always being very interested in how computers worked. My biggest concerns about attending were financial and failure. My advice to anyone considering the course is to work hard, take it seriously, and study every chance you get because the class is very intense in detail.
The experience at ComputerTraining.edu made me a more confident person. With the knowledge I have been given by my instructor, I continue to study and obtain more certifications. With the professional practices taught to me by the Director of Placement, I felt more prepared when finding a job."

"I started to work with computers about a year and a half ago and really did not know what I was doing most of the time. It was very frustrating trying to learn everything at the same time I was trying to implement them in real time. I knew that I needed formal training and preferred a school that would provide hands-on training to go along with the theory. That's when I found ComputerTraining.edu. I went online and managed to pass their Online Skills Challenge to get into one of there classes. It wasn't long before I was able to get certified and with the help of the Career Placement Department, I changed jobs and got a 50% pay increase."

"When I first started the program I had no previous computer background or experience with computers.
My only concerns with the program was the cost and being able to learn the information. I made sure it was what I really wanted which would be my advice to any new students because you must attend class regularly and study hard.
While I was in school I obtained a Desk Side Support position. It was quite a change from my previous job in construction. I do not have to work as hard, make more money, and have fun."

"I came to ComputerTraining.edu from the high-end home theater world. I had some computer experience plus I enjoyed working with computers and technology. I was looking for a chance to get properly trained to open up better opportunities for me in the IT and Tech world.
I found a resourceful and energetic teacher and an equally talented Career Placement advisor who helped me break into what I was looking for. Through hard work and listening to people trying to help me, I have graduated, received my MCTS, MCP, and only one more test to get my MCSA certification. Also I got a great job at a large company working with Windows servers and making more than I was before."

"I have always had an interest in computers, but was not sure on how to successfully get into the job field working with them. I have been working dead end jobs ever since I graduated high school most recently I was working nights as a custodian at a local school. The hours and pay were lousy. I heard about your program I figured it was time I did something that had a future for myself and my family.
This was really hard work, but worth it! In just six short months I’ve gotten certified and a new job in my new industry – Where else can you get that kind of education and career opportunity?
Things are going really well. I love my new job and the pay’s an improvement too! Now I get to use my skills, mostly troubleshooting and break/fix type stuff but I’ll be getting into the networking aspect soon."
