Cody Nelson, ATE Graduate Because of the program and getting certified, my idea of school has improved and going to school is something that I love to do.

Jacob Osterhout, ATE Graduate I know that these certifications will not only make me stand out in colleges but will help me obtain a job in the IT field later in life. I am happy to know that my work in high school will actually have a use in my future, but currently this class is my single most driving point to come to school in the morning. I am currently employed because of the certifications I have at a local computer repair store where I constantly see the application of what I am learning and getting certified.

Alan Gokool, ATE Graduate I never knew much about computers before I started this program. I now have the following certifications: A+, Net+, MOS, MCAS, MCP, MCDST, MCSA and MCSE. I wanted to get certified to make myself stand out. I know that the possibilities for myself are endless when you achieve certifications in this program.
