"I’ve always had a fascination with the world of computers and computer technology. As a 24-year Army veteran preparing to retire and begin a new career, I made a decision to pursue this life long dream by attending ComputerTraining.edu.
When we were handed our course material at the start of class, I was a bit apprehensive and overwhelmed by the amount of material I was expected to learn. With the combination of thorough reading of all textbooks, hours of self-study and research, classroom lecture and hands-on training I soon realized that I was on my way to a new career in Information Technology. Although the course is fast-paced, the instructor took time to answer questions, put things into terms we could understand and offered us the opportunity to receive individual tutoring if there was something we were having trouble understanding.
Through the certifications I received by attending ComputerTraining.edu I was able to land a job with a global information technology corporation immediately after graduation. The career services department of ComputerTraining.edu went out of their way to assist me in preparing my resume, running me through mock-interviews and setting up actual interviews with prospective employers. They don’t guarantee employment but their no-fail attitude and personal dedication to each student both before and after obtaining employment is phenomenal.
To new students entering the program I offer this: If you truly have a desire to accomplish your goals and are willing to apply yourself toward those goals, ComputerTraining.edu will give you the tools you need to enter the exciting and ever-changing world of information technology. The learning and rewards will never end."

"I chose to come to ComputerTraining.edu after taking the Online Skills Challenge, which was more difficult that I had originally thought! I really liked the instructor having the background in the industry, which was a major factor in my decision. The length of the program was also another benefit.
While I attended class I got a chance to master the fine details of server environments and it helped me be able to sit down in front of a server and not be rushed to fix a specific problem, but to actually have the time to play around with the various options to get the best results. It made me feel more comfortable performing day to day functions.
Getting the certificates was another key reason why I came. I have had experience in the past in this industry and the more and more I looked at positions I found I really needed the certificates to get anywhere.
I would urge new students to study, pay attention, and ask questions. Use the resources you are paying for. The best way to learn this stuff is to do it, read up on the fine details of each component and go through them hands-on. That helped me get the process through my head and it has really paid off in my professional life!"

"I was working 60+ hours a week away from home and family for days at a time. I had a good understanding of computers but no formal training.
It was hard to make a change in careers, but the instructor made the change go smoothly. His knowledge was key in my success.
Now that I am in the IT field, I have time I can spend with my family and myself. I had a job before but now I have a career.
IT takes a lot of hard work and time to study the material and do the labs, but with the help of the instructor and interns, it was presented in a manner that is easy to understand. – and fun to learn!"

"When I first began attending ComputerTraining.edu, I was only really familiar with the user side of computers. So I tried a few jobs dealing with computers and liked what I was doing. After hearing the ad on the radio a few times, I figured I would check out the web site and see what it was all about. It was hard at first but through the hard work and commitment I made to myself to succeed drove me through the whole way. My biggest concern was after the first few classes - learning what seemed like a foreign language at the time. It was very challenging. But after a while it all came together.
Now with the training that I received, I landed a job in the challenging world of IT and the sky’s the limit! As the staff at ComputerTraining.edu told me, “Imagine where you want to be and get there. Always remember that succeeding is completing a goal long after the mood has passed in which you set it."

"Just coming out of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life. I started working at a factory and it didn’t take long to realize that I wasn’t going very far, very fast.
I decided to look into continuing education of some sort. After deciding that a two or four year degree wasn’t what I wanted to get into yet, I happened to stumble upon ComputerTraining.edu’s radio ad. I thought it sounded too good to be true, but I took the Online Skills Challenge and met with the Admissions Director. I was allowed to sit in on a class to get an idea of how it worked and before I knew it, I was starting in my own class.
At first, it seemed hard to understand some of the concepts, and a lot of information was thrown at me. But with help from the instructor and interns, I was able to work through my difficulties. Soon enough things got easier and I started passing my tests and acquiring my certifications. By the end of the course, I was able to make sense of all of the new technology and terms.
Thanks to ComputerTraining.edu’s highly professional course and Career Services department, I have more than doubled my salary! I now have the confidence and skills to maintain a job I don’t mind getting up for in the morning to do and I am on the road to even greater success than I had thought possible. I would recommend this course to anyone because of its diversity of age and opportunity. Just remember, you get out what you put in!"

"After leaving the Army, I was not sure in which direction I wanted to head on my career path. I had held various labor positions since getting out of the Army but I knew that I wanted a more stable career. At the time, I was a dump truck driver and heard the ComputerTraining.edu commercials on the radio. I have always enjoyed working with computers but never had real technical experience with them. It was a really easy process to get started with ComputerTraining.edu. I took the Online Skills Challenge and within hours I received a phone call from a ComputerTraining.edu representative. After visiting the facilities in King of Prussia and talking with a few of their students and staff I decided that this was the career path I was interested in pursuing. ComputerTraining.edu would be able to help me learn the skills I needed to enter the computer field.
I really enjoyed my time at ComputerTraining.edu. I thought it was great how in six months I went from driving a dump truck to having a position with AIM Consultant Group as an onsite support consultant. The instructor of the class was very supportive and encouraging. The Career Services specialist was very helpful and willing to work hard with you to find jobs that suit your personality. You really do get what you put into this program. It is fast paced but if you are willing to put all the effort into it then you will get big results that can be the change you are looking for in your life. I feel that this program has given me the skills I need to never have to worry about my career options again. There are many options in the computer field and I feel that all the hard work I put into ComputerTraining.edu has given me the basis I need to head in any direction I choose."
