The Computer Support Technician Job Training Program prepares students to achieve two certifications:
- CompTIA A+
- Network + Certification
Both of these IT certifications are globally recognized and represent in-demand skills sought after by a wide array of employers.
Unlike many training programs that meet the needs of a specific market, any and all employers who use computer technology require computer support, whether the IT support is provided by a full-time employee or by a contracted managed services company.
This training is offered entirely online.
