Yes. The course work is a hybrid of classroom and homework. All the equipment to complete in-class activities is provided, but you will need a device with Internet access to use from home in order to complete the hybrid assignments.
Yes. Visit any of the MTECH Testing Centers and tell them you wish to test out of the IT Fundamentals course by taking the competency exam. Students must score 80% or higher to pass. There is only one attempt offered to test out of the course. Candidates who don’t pass must complete the IT Fundamentals prerequisite course.
Answer: Yes. When registering for the IT Support Technician program, full tuition is due up front. You may complete the course work at your own pace, and since you already have experience, you should be able to complete in less time than the prescribed 690 hours. If you graduate early, then the balance of your hours can be prorated and tuition refunded back to you, less any other incurred fees. If you have a current CompTIA A+ or Network+ certificate, present your verification number(s) to a counselor to request a waiver of the CompTIA certification fees.
Upon approaching graduation, your instructor and counselors will assist you in obtaining employment in the field of information technology. There are numerous positions available for entry-level IT technicians across the region.
Admission requirements may be met by taking the Entrance Assessment OR by providing qualifying documentation. The Entrance Assessment can be taken at a Testing Center, and qualifying documents can be sent to transcripts@mtec.edu.
