"I had fairly limited experience working with computers before attending ComputerTraining.edu. I had figured some things out on my own and was the person everyone at my office turned to first when they had questions. Working with computers was something that I enjoyed so I wanted to learn more.
The reason I considered a career change was that I had about reached the limit on what I could accomplish at my previous job. I had heard a lot about the IT field and ComputerTraining.edu and decided that now was the time for me to make a change.
What I like most about my new career in IT is that everything is fresh and new. Everything is constantly changing. I am faced with a new challenge each and every day. I am still learning even though I have already graduated from ComputerTraining.edu.
My biggest concern before entering the program was how I was going to be able to afford the program. The people at ComputerTraining.edu and some very supportive friends and family helped everything work out.
The best advice I can give to new students entering the program would be to study hard, read, and enjoy the experience. The tests can be difficult to pass, but if you work hard and are determined, you will succeed.
My experience at ComputerTraining.edu gave me the confidence to go out into the IT field and apply everything I learned. I am now advancing quickly in the field and I owe it all to ComputerTraining.edu."

"I have been stuck in a blue collar, dead-end job for years. I have wanted to work in the IT field ever since my interest in computers began, about fourteen years ago. Paying for an education was out of the question because I have a family and obligations without any extra money to invest in an education. I learned a great deal about computers on my own. However, I couldn’t get to the level I needed to find a good job. I used online tools and everything I could that was inexpensive to learn. I quickly realized that a good program that would teach me what I needed to know to get certified and find a new job would not come cheap.
After hearing the commercial for ComputerTraining.edu, I decided to talk to them. ComputerTraining.edu assured me that the program would prepare me with what I needed to succeed in a new career as long as I was committed to learn and keep my end of the obligation. Like with some of the other training programs, I had some fears that I wouldn’t make it and I would be wasting my time and money. I overcame those fears and concerns by searching myself and realizing that if I really committed myself and followed the advice of the staff here, I would make it. I am happy to say that with those tools and hard work, the dream has come true for me.
About a week after I passed my MCP certification exam, I was interviewed and offered a job working at a great company that provides IT solutions for Ely Lilly and Company. I finally got out of a factory environment and into a new class of work. Due to my lack of experience in the IT field, I started at an entry-level position that is paying me as much as I was making with over fifteen years with my previous employer. Along with great pay and benefits, the personal sense of accomplishment and what I have achieved so far is a good feeling. ComputerTraining.edu has made my new career possible with their dedication to my success. My new opportunity has also provided some of my classmates with opportunities of a great job and career with the same company. ComputerTraining.edu has proven their reputation for preparing individuals with the knowledge and education that employers want when they are seeking employees.
I would recommend ComputerTraining.edu to anyone who wants to change their career or enter the IT field. From my experience, the certifications that are required to get a higher paying job in the IT field would be extremely difficult without the proper training and education. ComputerTraining.edu provides that training, as well as a great career services department. They truly work hard for all the students to aide them in preparing for work and working with prospective employers to help those without IT experience get a foot in the door. My advice to new students would be to take advantage of what the school and the instructor have to offer. The course is not easy and will require commitment and hard work. You will get out of it what you put into it. The next six months could change your life, it is up to you.
Thank you all at ComputerTraining.edu. You have made it possible for me to get a better job and start a new career in a field in which I have wanted to work in for a long time. You have kept me motivated throughout the course and continue to help me, even after graduation, in my quest to achieve more certifications and better opportunities with my employer."

"I came to ComputerTraining.edu with experience in the IT world; however I knew that I needed my Microsoft certifications in order to move forward with my career. I really enjoyed the course and I think it’s fair to say that it was the best track I have ever been on. I learned so much from my instructor and my peers.
The class was very enjoyable, and the instructor had a great delivery when teaching the materials. It was fun as well as hard work. I always had help when I needed it and was supported greatly by the staff at ComputerTraining.edu. The course has given me enough knowledge to take away and use in the real world of Information Technology."

"Prior to attending ComputerTraining.edu, my background in computers was only self-taught. I wanted to be able to say that I know something so well that I could make a career out of it. After attending, I now have a great paying job with awesome hours where my skills and knowledge are truly tested on a daily basis.
The biggest concern that I had about attending was definitely how I was going to afford the schooling. After a few weeks of talking it over with my family and thinking things over, I decided to take a chance on myself, and give this a go!
I would urge new students to keep on going. Don’t stop or slow down just because you are afraid of failing! You will succeed and leave all the naysayers in the dust! If you are lacking in certain areas, focus a little harder on them while maintaining your current skills of the certifications.
Attending ComputerTraining.edu has changed my career and my life! I now have a job that I look forward to and enjoy. I have a true opportunity for advancement with my present company. My family is also enjoying this because now I no longer need to worry about money or if my next paycheck will be enough to provide for us. I can now say that we are truly on our way!"

"I began working with computers in the mid-eighties, but did not consider a career in computers until 2006. I always planned on being an accountant, but over the last three years or so, with the regulations added by the government, I decided that I wasn't enjoying the work as much as I had expected. This led me to a decision to change careers.
I now enjoy being able to help people solve their computer issues. I was initially worried I would not be able to handle a job transition as easily as I did. I would tell people considering the course not to hesitate and to be sure you are willing to devote the necessary time to make sure it is a success.
I have already increased my earning potential just by entering the field part-time and plan to switch my two jobs between part-time and full-time by this time next year."

"Before I started class I as an average computer geek, and now that I have finished class I realize there was so much to learn! I am currently searching for a job and I haven’t worked since before my daughter was born, so it’s great to have new skills! I was not sure I was going to be able to keep up with the class and understand all the extra technical stuff, but my instructor was there for me every step of the way, as well as my classmates.
For the new students coming in, I would tell them to be prepared to study a lot, and ask questions! It’s the only way to learn. Don’t be afraid to rely on the instructor for help that is what they are there for! I am much more knowledgeable now in computers, and I feel confident in any job in the IT field."

"My time at Computer Training was time well spent, for three main reasons. First, they were able to work with my schedule as a working professional who was looking to change careers. I shopped around for different technological training schools, and all the others had schedules and pricing that would have made it impossible to attend them.
Secondly, the teachers there were excellent, explaining complex concepts in an easy manner and willing to spend a lot of time with students even outside of class hours.
Finally, the Career Services department offered tremendous help after my class was over and enabled me to land an IT job within six months of graduation, and allowing me to get some real-world experience that is so essential to starting a career in Information Technology. I had to work hard for to get my MSCE, and the people at ComputerTraining.edu were with me every step of the way."
