This 224-hour, 15-week program covers three areas: basic internet security, foundational IT concepts and terminology, and in-depth training in the skills necessary for a help desk or tech support position. Each of the three areas leads to internationally recognized IT industry certifications from CertNexus and CompTIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
