"After working at GE for almost six years, I was laid off. I had not finished my Bachelors Degree and realized that I would soon be unemployed with no real skills employers would be looking for. A fast track program to get real world, usable technical knowledge was exactly what I was needed.

I was definitely concerned with the enormous amount of technical information the curricula outlined in a very short timeframe. The effort required by the program is no small or simple task. Solid time management and some sacrifice are required. If it were easy, everyone would have an MCSA / MCSE.

My new career is in data storage technology. This field has been expanding exponentially year after year. The opportunities that have already been made available to me are extensive. Instructor lead, hands on training has opened up a whole new world in the IT field for me. I have also gained additional, industry recognized certifications that will allow me to continue my career advancement.

For new students, I would tell them to stay focused and don’t fall behind. Follow the study keys to success that is outlined by the staff. Pre-read before class and re-read after. Find a routine that works for you and make it a habit. And most importantly, don’t be intimidated or discouraged by the Microsoft tests. Start taking practice test early and often. The repetition and memorization is extremely beneficial.

I can safely say that before ComputerTraining.com I had no career. The knowledge and training provided by the course was instrumental to my increased responsibility and earning potential. I have only ComputerTraining.com to thank for pushing me to the opportunities afforded to me and those yet to come."
