I was nervous at first because I am an older gentleman. I did not know how easy it would be to get into a new field changing careers completely. I did something that I did not think was possible. I started to do something for me, something that I enjoyed doing as a hobby and not just a job to pay the bills.

The course was tough. I found myself studying every free time I had. Without attending every class and paying attention to everything the instructor had to say taking the exams on my own would have been impossible. The course is designed to keep you on track. However, you have to be the one deciding to stay on the track. The biggest fear at first was passing the exams. I realized by attending classes, completing the homework and taking the practice quizzes that the instructor gave to us made it a lot better when it came to test time.

Something I can share with you is that you have to be serious about attending ComputerTraining.Com. You have to take the knowledge you learn there and review it until you understand it. You have to study!

With being a little older and a career changer, I was still able to graduate the program, pass the exams and with the help of the Career Services department able to land a technician position. Thank you ComputerTraining.Com staff. You have helped me every way possible change my career, it has changed my life."

I love the fact people respect you for what you do. My new career is awesome because there are so many opportunities in the IT industry. I can’t express enough the knowledge and skills I have received from ComputerTraining.com. I highly recommend ComputerTraining.com to anyone looking for a career change.

One of my biggest concerns entering the program was that I was not sure what to expect. The biggest fear I had entering the program was how quickly I would get employed after graduation. After following my instructors lead and knowing that I had major support from the director of placement and director of admissions I felt very relaxed.

The Advice I would give to new students entering the program would be to have confidence in yourself, listen to your instructor, and know you have support from the program. I would also advise them to set and write down their goals. If the new student follows through with their goals and listen to the instructor they will be very successful in this program.

The overall experience I have received from ComputerTraining.com is priceless. I feel ready and prepared to take on any new challenges that present themselves with dedication and confidence. After completing the program I now have the opportunity to achieve financial freedom."

"Up until last year, I had spent my entire career in an industry that, as it turned out, was not very rewarding. When I was laid off, I had an opportunity to step back and figure out what direction I should go. I looked into enrolling in ComputerTraining.com, and I haven’t looked back since.

With the training that I received, along with the opportunity to earn my MCSE certification, so many doors have been opened for me. I am now in an industry where the sky’s the limit, and I owe it all to my instructor and ComputerTraining.com."

"I’ve always been into computers and repairing them, but I’ve also been interested in networking. I was stuck working for a company that had promised to promote me for over five years. I decided in order to get ahead, I need certification. Now, I’m working for a company who not only pays me more, but started me two levels above my previous employer.

This was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and for anyone coming into the program, I can’t say enough good things. Study hard and put all your effort into these classes and you’ll come out ahead."

"Before I attended ComputerTraining.com I was a teacher's aide in an elementary school as well as a waiter at a country club. My background did not consist of any formal computer training. I was always good with computers and the informal "IT guy" at all of my jobs, and it was time to make a career out of my talents. I had some reservations about taking the big step into changing a career and going back to school, but I needed a career not just jobs.

The one aspect of my new career that I love is that everyone is part of a team. I have not found anyone I work with to be out for themselves. We all work together for a common goal. The company I work for is very laid back and there is no set dress code. This is a big change for me because I used to wear formal business attire every day. I feel that I have a lot more freedom in IT then any of the other fields in which I have worked.

I would advise anyone that wants to get out of that dead end job to just step up and go for what you want. My new career has changed my life. I am having fun at work while getting more out of it then any other job I have ever had."

"I came to ComputerTraining.com because I have always enjoyed computers and wanted a fast paced career that could take advantage of my natural talents. I had tried selling computers before but that was not for me. The process of enrolling and financial assistance was great and before I knew it I was starting my first class. It was a good deal of work and I had to give up on some of the small things for a few months but I learned an incredible amount. Once I started getting my certifications, which was exciting, I started my job search. I actually had a choice of jobs to go for which was very exciting. I am now working in a job that has amazing room for advancement and is exactly what I wanted to do. It was hard work but it was worth it!"

"I have always been good at the application side of computers. I often wondered what all was “behind the scenes” of networking. I wanted to learn about IT to increase my future earning potential and have a career, not just a job.

I like the fact that I can go anywhere location-wise and still be in demand. I look forward to applying my skills in the real world. I look forward to being in a field that is very demanding.

Being a full time worker and full time mother, trying to balance work, family and school was difficult. I spent every spare minute I had studying and doing homework. Have a great support system was key.

Make sure you have a great support system in place. Always use your classmates as resources and advice. Know that you can do it if you really apply yourself.

I will be taking over the IT department of my current employer. Knowing that I have a future in a field where I am always in demand is a huge relief when I think about my son’s future. This experience has made me more confident in myself."
