Before ComputerTraining.edu, I was struggling professionally. I attended college, but failed to graduate. I was young and had several jobs in only a few years. I had gaps in my work history. Needless to say, this left my resume at the bottom of hiring managers' desks. But now after graduating, my life has changed. The six months of hard work, dedication, and long hours of studying have paid off. Now I have a career doing something I enjoy. Going to work is no longer painful for me. I am now on the road to giving my family the lifestyle they deserve.

ComputerTraining.edu employs only very best people. My instructor did not treat me as a number in his class. He was dedicated to my success throughout my entire term at ComputerTraining.edu. I cannot thank him enough for the career change that I have experienced. The admissions team was very helpful and aided me in financing my education. I cannot say enough about ComputerTraining.edu's Career Services as well. They excel at what they do. I am amazed at the amount of quality interviews that they personally sent me on. Based off their hard work and my commitment, I received and accepted a job offer. In this tough economic climate, they helped me find a job three months earlier than my goal. For the first time in my life I love what I do. Thank you, ComputerTraining.edu.

ComputerTraining.edu provides all the resources for you to be successful. They changes lives, one student at a time. They changed mine. And they can change yours."

"I started with a very basic self-learned understanding of Microsoft Windows and applications at a young age and continued to grow my knowledge on my own. I was previously in the banking industry, but when the market started to fall I began to consider obtaining my degree or some form of formal education to enhance my IT knowledge. Why IT? I decided to obtain a career in the IT industry because of the job security the industry has to offer and because I always felt my success would come from being in this industry.

The most gratifying quality about my new career is the chance to enhance my current knowledge from ComputerTraining.edu in the real world. The opportunities to grow within a corporation as an IT professional is limitless. It is nice to know that there will always be a demand for an IT specialist in any business.

I was concerned that being out of a formal classroom setting for so many years could hold back my chance of being successful in obtaining certifications, but with a little sacrifice and hard work outside of the ComputerTraining.edu classroom setting, I was able to obtain my certifications and a new career.

For a new student, you have a great chance to make something out of nothing for yourself. The possibilities are endless with an IT certification. Many of today’s IT professionals do not have IT certifications, but employers prefer those professionals that do to enhance there companies progress into the future. Being certified, you are ahead of the pack in the IT industry.

I made a big sacrifice to take a year and be unemployed, but kept telling myself the light at the end of the tunnel would be brighter…it certainly is brighter since I graduated from ComputerTraining.edu and have my Microsoft certifications to back me up."

"Before ComputerTraining.edu I had a pretty good understanding of Windows XP, 2000, 98SE and a few of Cisco’s products but I was not certified in any. I was traveling about 85% out of the year and my pay wasn’t reflecting what I was doing for the company. I didn’t see myself going anywhere with my previous employer and not having any certifications was also holding me back. To become Microsoft certified was the true road I wanted to go down, but with my previous employer there was no chance so I had to make a change.

After completing the course I had a confidence that I haven’t had in a while! With the help of the Director of Placement and my trainer, I was on my way to find a new job and to start my career. The skills that I’ve obtained from the course have been great! I was able to brush up on what I knew and learn a whole lot more that I didn’t know while getting Microsoft certified.

My biggest concern: Was the trainer a good teacher? After attending the Saturday classes before the actual start date help to clear up my doubts. The trainer is one of the best teachers I’ve ever been taught by. He truly is a knowledgeable instructor and he will go out of his way to help you!

If you have a dream or a goal in life follow it, don’t look back and don’t let anything stand in you way! That is the mentality I came into this course and w/ the training I received I know I can make my goals a reality.

Overall I’m very happy that I decided to make ComputerTraining.edu my school! With the training that I got from them I was able to land an awesome job as a Wireless/Networking Engineer. My job requires me to have a good set of networking skills and I can thank ComputerTraining.edu for that. I also have the opportunity to apply what I have learned while gaining more experience in the field. This course was truly the motivation I needed to get me where I am today and pave the way for my future."

"When I came to ComputerTraining.edu I was working 55+ hour weeks, driving a seventy two passenger school bus and waiting tables on the weekends, with no potential growth in either job. ComputerTraining.edu gave me the skills and direction towards a new career.

I came to ComputerTraining.edu expecting hands on material and exposure to real life computer experiences and that was just what I got. At ComputerTraining.edu all the tools and resources needed to take me where I wanted to go were available to me, just as I had hoped. ComputerTraining.edu made learning for me (a visual/hands-on learner) much easier than any four year school could have done.

Now, I am a support technician at a local school district doing just what I was taught to do. In the field of Information Technology, the possibilities are endless. Making the choice to come to ComputerTraining.edu is one of the best I have made thus far in my career.

Thank you ComputerTraining.edu, I couldn’t have done it without you."

"My computer background was not extensive but had enough experience repairing, building & maintaining friends and family member’s systems. Nevertheless, when I started ComputerTraining.edu, I had to leave my ego at home and submitted to the teaching of my instructor. I decided to be Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist to have a better understand and knowledge base that field.

What I like most about my new career is that I will be helping a person and small businesses that does not have that skill set and knowledge base of Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Vista & Windows Server.

My concerns were not getting through the course, graduating, and not having the understanding of Vista, Server, and ISA. I was thinking to myself when I received my textbooks like “WOW! This is a lot of information!” However, having those classmates that turn into friends, having a great instructor that kept the class always interesting truly help a lot, and gotten me through those six months.

The advice that I can pass down to the new class is to listen, ask questions and to take the time out to come to class a little early to get that extra practice time in and talk to your instructor.

It has elevated my confidence and view of the world of Microsoft and I am determined to further my education in that field, for the sky is the limit!"

"I have years of professional experience using computers for work. I was looking for a new career in a challenging, yet rewarding field that allows me to utilize my office, interpersonal, and technical skills.

What I like most about my new skills is that I am more valuable in the job market and have a broader range of opportunities that I can pursue.

My biggest fear was that my lack of personal experience would affect my success in the program. I was able to use the hands-on approach to learn new concepts quickly and thoroughly.

Advice I would give to new students is to be prepared to make a real commitment in yourself and keep both short-term and long-term goals in mind during the program. STUDY, STUDY, and just when you think you have it down, STUDY MORE! It's worth it but it takes hard work and dedication.

I was able to start a new career that has allowed me to make great strides towards my personal and professional goals."

"Before entering ComputerTraining.edu, my experience with computers was limited to working on PC's at home or doing basic installs of hardware. I looked into ComputerTraining.edu because I wanted to move into a career I would like. I worked for the food service field since I was a teenager and that life was not something I could be proud of, I wanted to do something better with myself. I always liked playing around on a computer and upgrading them, when I heard the ComputerTraining.edu commercial on the radio I thought, "Why not, can't hurt to check it out".

The information I learned while attending ComputerTraining.edu has been greatly useful in my current job and I can only see what I gained while in ComputerTraining.edu helping me down the road even more. About a month ago I started for Renaissance as tech support and been enjoying the work I have been doing there. I'm constantly helping customers with computer issues and I couldn’t be happier at the end of the day than if I was still working in the food service.

Before I entered into ComputerTraining.edu, I was a bit worried how well I would do. I wasn't sure how well I would pick up all the information or how difficult the material would be. Thankfully, with a great teacher the material was easily translated to the students and everyone seemed to always pick up the information rather well. I would only wish other students that entered into ComputerTraining.edu that they have a great teacher as I did. Also any new students entering ComputerTraining.edu should know to take it serious, to always study and use all the materials the school offers, without those things it would of been more difficult.

Attending here has surely changed my outlook on my life. I'm excited because things are falling into place, putting me on a path I am sure to enjoy and be able to live a life I'd be proud to talk about. I also plan to continue my education by going for an associate's degree and without the success I had in ComputerTraining.edu don't think I would of found my desire for bettering myself as have."
