I’ve been interested in computers as far back as I can remember, and knew that computer technology would never die out. Other than using them at home, I had no formal training at all. At all of my previous jobs, everyone would always come to me with their computer problems. I never took a serious computer class in school, never held a position requiring me to be computer-literate. Now, I am a Desktop Support Technician for a company with locations all over the world in only four months. It’s the first time in my life that I look forward to going to work.

When I first entered the program, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the work or pass the certifications tests. Thanks to all the dedication from myself, and my fellow classmates, the constant push from my instructor, and my placement director, I am well prepared to enter the IT field with nothing to lose. Without ComputerTraining.edu, I would still probably be working as a mechanic wondering what I’m supposed to be doing in my life. Make no mistake; the course is not easy, but looking back now, in my opinion, I wish the course lasted twice as long because there will never be an end to what anyone could learn in IT. The long nights, intense studying, and unlimited coffee, don’t compare at all to the outcome.

I’ve heard the commercials for years, but hesitated in taking the Online Skills Challenge, because I never thought that ComputerTraining.edu was capable of what they said it was. I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations and changed my life forever, and I would do it all over again without question."

I decided to enroll in the six month accelerated course and it was the best decision I could’ve made! This is a proven course and with dedication and hard work, I received all the benefits ComputerTraining.edu had to offer. Within less than two months of the courses end, I was beginning my first job in IT and since then many opportunities have come about because of the knowledge and certifications that I worked so hard for.

For those reading, the relationship between ComputerTraining.edu and those wishing to join the course is a symbiotic one – If you work hard for them, they’ll work hard for you; you will only get out what you put in to it."

"I really got excited about computers and technology about a year and a half before school started. At that time, I received significant help from friends. I decided that I wanted to learn more about computers myself and so I chose to pursue a career in information technology. I felt that an IT career was the right path for me. I am glad I found ComputerTraining.edu because the six month program was the right length of time and intensity for me. I would not have made it through a two year program. I am currently working at Bose Corporation as a Product Support and Technical Specialist. I am gaining experience in call center operations and real-time technical support."

"I used to work filling boxes and selling electronics, but never got any satisfaction from it. After hearing the ads on the radio for ComputerTraining.edu, I decided to give it a shot, what could it hurt right? After attending the presentation, meeting with the Directors of Admissions, Career Services, and the instructor, I knew this was what I wanted.

After six months of classes, incredible studying, and testing, I’m now working at a job that pays double what I was making, and actually take pride in what I do. I can look to the future now, buying a house, new car, and living the dream I’ve always had. I made great friends and enjoyed every minute of my time at ComputerTraining.edu. I can say without a doubt that ComputerTraining.edu works, it really works!"

"Before I came to ComputerTraining.edu I was working as a security officer with low wages and high stress. I decided to take the Online Skills Challenge just to see what I already knew and received a phone call not much later.

Before starting my classes I was nervous about what would happen if I did not do well or if I could not get a job because of my job history of mostly retail and security. I finally decided to start the ComputerTraining.edu course. With the support of my family and with the help of my teacher, the Director of Placement and my ability to work hard, I was able to get a job before my classes even ended that doubled my salary. With the help of the teacher and the placement director I was able to confidently interview.

Now I am working at a job I enjoy and with the ability to constantly learn and continue to grow so I will never be bored. This has definitely been a big, but amazing change for me. I am headed down an amazing career path and enjoy learning and expanding my knowledge everyday."

"I utilized my experiences and education at ComputerTraining.edu as a tool to further enhance my computer and networking skills. As a veteran in the IT field for many years, ComputerTraining.edu helped me to easily learn current and new Microsoft networking programs. The experiences this course has provided me will help push me and my career into new and developing technologies. After earning my certifications, I started with a great corporation, IBM, and am looking forward to future IT career growth!"

"I have always been interested in computers but until recently have never owned one. After I bought my first computer I realized that if I was going to own one than it would be to my advantage to learn about them. So I built my second computer and decided that if I can do this for myself then I can do this for somebody else. I helped a friend rebuild his computer then I was hooked. I do enjoy working with computers so I decided to make the career change from truck driving to computers.

I enjoy the challenge of my new career and I don't ever think I will get bored with it, because I am learning something new every day.

I guess the only concern that I had was my age, but that doesn't seem to be a problem. The best advice that I can think of at this point is don't be afraid to challenge yourself, if you commit yourself and work hard then you can do anything. The overall experience was challenging but in a good way. I am constantly learning something new.

I can't express my gratitude enough to the technical trainer and the Director of Placement for all their help along with my family and friends I have all the support and guidance to fulfill my goals."
