Certificate of Accomplishment - Computer Technical Support
Catalog 2009-2010

This program prepares students for entry-level jobs as computer technicians. Typical jobs would be computer assembly, computer upgrading, and introductory computer repair with an overview of computer networking. The COMTC 110B and COMTC 118 courses help students prepare for the "A+ computer technician" exam. The "A+ computer technician" is intended for individuals with six months or more of computer technician work experience. The A+ exam is administered by Sylvan Prometric off campus and has a fee associated with the exam. The courses listed below change frequently because of new versions of software, so students are advised to consult with the faculty in the computer networking/computer technical support department.

To earn a certificate of Accomplishment, students must complete each course used to meet a certificate requirement with a "C" grade or better and maintain an overall GPA OF 2.5 or better in the coursework required for the certificate. Certificate requirements are available in the evening and some are offered in the day and on weekends.
