Instructor-Led-Training. Global Information Technology appreciates other methods of training, such as online and CBTs; however, there is nothing like getting hands-on ILT experience. We are people who need our questions answered as they arise, so we are better prepared to move on further into the subject we are studying. If our questions cannot be addressed in a manner that satisfies our thirst for knowledge, we are likely to lose interest or become frustrated. Global Information Technology’s instructors are all certified as well as industry-experienced within the technology they teach and are prepared to address the questions of all of our students. Our students are encouraged to ask questions to inspire group discussions and enhance the educational process.
Yes! We offer daytime, weeknight, and weekend classes. We can also tailor a special course schedule to your needs.
No, currently Global Information Technology is exploring options that will allow our students to earn college credits for the classes they attend. However, we are not able to offer college credits at this point in time.
YOUR FUTURE AND SUCCESS DEPEND ON IT! This is an important step. We encourage you to weigh your decision carefully and invest the time to make a well-informed choice. A visit enables you to discuss the school’s training with a school representative and see the classrooms and equipment you will use in your training.
More and more employers are insisting that their candidates are more than capable in the technology/technologies they are working in. One of the ways of determining whether or not a person is qualified in a particular area is through internationally recognized certification processes. According to a survey done by the International Data Corporation, certification is a “Standard benchmark for assessing skills, lowers employer training costs, and reports that 78% of companies experienced more productivity from their certified employees, and 92% realized financial benefits by having certificate holders on staff.” Therefore, certification is a ticket to a better job and more financial security.
Global Information Technology expects that once a student begins a training course, they will commit to a minimum of six hours per week. Most of our students study anywhere between six and twelve hours per week. This will depend on the student’s individual circumstances and how quickly they wish to complete the course.
Certification is quickly becoming the standard for all IT professionals. The value of computer professional certifications appears to be on the rise. Judging by the rapid emergence of new programs, big business and professional organizations seem eager and able to fuel the market.
The US Department of Labor states that 8 out of 10 of the fastest growing occupations are computer careers. It is a fact that companies across America are desperate for well-trained IT professionals. There is opportunity at all levels in the industry.
Information technology is essential to the day-to-day operations and long-term growth of all businesses. Because of this, there is rising demand for a range of IT professionals—including Network Engineers, IT Help Desk, Computer Systems Analysts, Computer Support Specialists, Database Administrators, Software Engineers, Business Analysts, Project Managers, Web Designers, and Software Testers.
Global Information Technology students have a number of funding options, including government funding, Veterans Administration programs, and private bank loans.
Global Information Technology provides highly focused and relevant in-demand IT training and certification preparation for a variety of IT career paths—typically with a shorter time and smaller financial commitment than a two- or four-year degree.

Re-energizing your resume and continuing the learning cycle can help you turn those certifications into money. According to Alison Indrisano, “Fifty-four percent of certified IT professionals who participated in a study received a reward at work, which is a 20% increase from the previous year. This includes salary increases at 18%, new responsibilities at 20%, and promotions at 9%.” Certification provides an excellent framework and supporting structure in the lives of IT professionals—it offers a road map for career direction and the future of your professional journey.

The question, “How long will it take me?” is asked quite often. The answer to this question is, “It is entirely up to you.” Our goal is to help you prepare for the certification exam. We will give you the information you need to pass the exam, as well as the tools necessary to apply what you learn in a real-world environment. Once you finish a course, it will be up to you when you take the certification exam. You can wait a few months to study the material after each course, or you can wait until you finish all the classes and take all of the exams within a six-month period (for example). Some students prefer to take their time, while others want to complete it as quickly as possible. The time it takes you to finish your certification process depends on how much time you devote to studying the exam objectives for each certification.

Absolutely not. In fact, there are generally no educational prerequisites. Even the lack of a high school diploma won’t bar your entrance to a computer certification program. That’s always been one of the great things about computer work—there’s room for everyone who is capable and often even for those with marginal skills but a burning passion for the field. Good educational credentials, however, will often smooth the way into the upper ranks of computer professionals and are listed as a requirement in many job postings. Larger companies, especially, seem to automatically expect candidates to hold a bachelor’s degree in computer science. Startups are often more flexible. Computer certifications can sometimes be used in place of a degree.
Most of our students clear the certifications on their first attempt. If required, we suggest a free retake of the module after analyzing the needs of the student.
Yes, Global Information Technology will help you prepare a professional resume and schedule mock interviews with managers and technical experts within the industry. Please note, Global Information Technology does not guarantee job placement but will help those candidates who get certified first.
