Computertraining.com did not help me Chantilly, Virginia
Heard the ad on the radio and thought, this might be something that I would like to do. Had a job that I wasn't happy in and wanted to move into the IT industry. Took the exam and scored exceptionally well (if you know how to turn on the computer you can do exceptionally well on this exam). Went to the seminar and one of the biggest cons they mentioned was that they would be able to place me into a job. Signed up and paid the 26000 thru SallieMae. I was the first one to receive his MCP and actually did it in less than a month. Submitted my resume to their career advisor who was more interested in updating her Myspace page than helping me out. She returned the Resume to what she thought was a good looking resume but I found numerous spelling errors and grammatical mistakes on it. Kept her outline and submitted it back with my own corrections. That is where the buck stopped.
Afterwards, she spent more time getting other people into 10/hr jobs in the IT industry. I asked her every week if she found a new position and she would say no. Finally, I contacted her boss in Delaware and he said that he would do something. It started to trickle in but if fit none of the criteria that I had told her was required and still the resumes looked as if they were written just to shut me up. I have all the emails and correspondence as proof. Finally, I took the matters into my own hands and found myself a job. I received the rest of my certificates but the lessons did not prepare me for the real world which is another of their selling points. Luckily, I am quick on my feet and was able to learn exceptionally well. Now, I am a level 3 technician for four offices and handle both network security and server administration. People, save your money and go to ITT or Devry. Everyone that works in the industry will tell you that if you don't go to a Real School, that those (6k for 6 months not 24k for 6 months) will give you the same type of training and will save you 20 years of paying back loans.

Great outcome of the program

I went to computertraining.com classes this year and had a positive outlook of the program. The price of the course is very high but the knowledge I got from the instructor and the classmates around me got me a Tech job making more than I have at another job. The only complaint I have is that I am having trouble trying to consolidate my loan because the time I start paying the amount I will owe will be 30,000 and the monthly will be over 500. But overall I enjoyed the experience at computertraining.com and I still keep in touch with my instructor and classmates from time to time. I went to the one located in GA.

I did not report this earlier because I did not think that people would listen. I feel obligated now to share my experience. If any employee would like to see the emails that I sent, just respond and I will be more than happy to send things over to you. I found other websites that have other individuals who make the same claims that Computertraining.com. But I "graduated" in May of 2006
