As a potential student there are things you need to consider prior to committing to a training provider.
- 1. What is your Goal for training?
Do you want to learn a new technology or re-certify on an old one?
If you want to learn a new technology, how much time will it take? Everyone has different speeds of learning, do you know yours? Can you learn something new from a one week class
or do you need more time to really wrap yourself into it before making critical company decisions with in your enterprise?
Most of us need more time to learn and test solutions before we are proficient in a new technology.
Our program gives you 6 months to 1 year of access to learning.
If re certification is your goal than more of a Boot Camp style may be better.
Again time is the enemy in traditional Boot Camps. Our program gives you 6 months to 1 year of access to learning this includes Test Prep material.
What is the costs comparison between instructor led Boot Camps and us? The average cost of a Windows 7 Enterprise Desktop Support Technician Boot Camp is $3,500.00 for only 5 days which does NOT include airfare, rental car, food etc... Add that up and it is easily over $4,000.00 plus the hassles of travel and the lost time at work and family.
Our online Windows 7 Enterprise Desktop Support Technician course is only $1,200.00 with NO travel, No rental car, No lost time at work or family and access to learning materials and test prep for 6 months!- For Career Changers.
- Traditional schools to get into the I. T. Field are littered all over the country and their main focus is profit. Most will NOT disclose the cost of their programs until you come in for a formal presentation. This is when they get you pumped up about the I. T. industry and job placement, many present it as "Job Placement Guaranteed" so you think you are a "shoe in" for placement. Sadly, many find this not to be true and now you have a $15,000.00 to $25,000.00 (that's the cost of a new car) debt which you must pay or future wages could be garnished. Not to mention the cost of gas to get there and your time to be there. Some don't even provide books to help you learn, many just supply on line access to material.
With most Career changer programs, your learning is done online and labs are done in the classroom, you have to deal with students that are faster paced or slower paced which can cause problems in the learning process. Committing to a 3 or 6 month course seems easy but "life" can get in the way, if you fall behind due to un-predictable circumstances you will have a hard time catching up.
We use online material, the difference is you can go at your own pace not being handcuffed to the "slow students" pace or blown away by the "fast student" pace. Our programs are 75% less and we are up front with our pricing. Our low pricing means that you don't have to take out a $25,000.00 loan to get into this industry, you can easily put it on a credit card and we supply the hard covered official books and a pdf reader so you can take your studies anywhere.
We also provide resume workshops and we constantly are marketing our resume database to company's across the country. Company's can log in and access your resume for FREE where staffing companies charge for access to candidates!
