A one to two quarter certificate can enable students to gain basic IT skills complementing employable skills in PC installation, computer help desks, and other entry-level positions. This certificate will also serve as the core for our 1-year certificate program that is the basis of all other CIS programs at OC. This certificate prepares students to pass the current two CompTIA A+ certification exams. Moreover, this Technical Support certificate will give students, who may currently work in industry or have only an industry certification (such as Microsoft or Cisco certification), a set of courses to broaden their IT knowledge base and enhance their “soft skills.” Program fees vary depending on supplies.
