At CompTIA Tech Career Academy, our goal is to help you land—and succeed in—an IT job. We train students with little-to-no information technology experience and give you the technical and soft skills to launch your career.

 

 

  •  Live online IT Training
  •  Duration: 4 months
  •  Grants available to those who qualify
  •  Gateway to a career in tech

 

 

 

 

We connect our graduates to 100+ employer partners nationwide to fill their IT help desk jobs.

 

You May Qualify for a Grant

For much less than the cost of a college degree, CompTIA Tech Career Academy can provide the training you need to land and succeed in a great IT job. What you pay will vary depending on whether you receive financial assistance.

As a not-for-profit, our focus is not on making money—it’s on your success. And our tuition rates reflect that commitment. We believe tech careers should be accessible to anyone with a dream and passion to pursue them. Tuition for our IT-Ready Technical Support (Online) Program is $8500*, but qualifying students can receive partial or full tuition grants. Our grants are not loans; they do not need to be repaid by the student.

*Tuition is $8500 for the program. Online students must provide their own computer equipment and the required software, (estimated at $569.99 when purchased on their own, making the program cost $9069.99).

5 Reasons to Choose CompTIA Tech

One

Our Motivation

As a non-profit, our bottom line isn’t money, it’s making you ready for the tech workforce. We only succeed if you succeed.

Two

Been There, Done That

CompTIA is a leader in IT certifications, as stated by other trainers such as Global Knowledge, and millions have earned our certifications to advance their careers.

Three

All the Skills

If you start an IT job with nothing but technical know-how, you’re more likely to fail, as noted by industry publications such as Tech Republic. So we also teach the other “soft skills” critical for success.

Four

Right Teacher, Right Pace

Our instructors have both industry experience and certified teaching skills. Our live courses move at a pace designed for beginners.

Five

Serious Career Support

Career guidance, resume building, interview prep, and connections to potential employers will help you transition from the classroom to the job.

Launching his Second Career 

Keith Bryant’s passion for hands-on electronics work has burned his entire life. Training through the IT-Ready Technical Support program equipped him with knowledge and skills to turn that passion into a paycheck.

“The curriculum was exactly what I needed — there had been changes and I needed that information, and I needed to get back into the habit of studying,” said Keith.
