Read What Our Students at Burlington Are Saying...
A Training Center is only as good as the students that fill its classrooms.  If our students are not successful, we are not successful.   Below are just a few of the many student success stories happening at ComputerTraining.com at Burlington, Massachusetts LLC.

"It really never is too late! As a young man I lost an opportunity to begin a career in the fledgling computer industry and regretted it for many years. I have had extensive sales experience and had become somewhat jaded and cynical about "success stories," so it was with some trepidation that I called after listening to the radio advertisement and was invited for an appointment to discuss the course. I, Michael Beetar, had agreed to listen to a sales pitch! The presentation was flawless and impressive; however, I am not a man of means and after hearing the cost, I could not relate to the cost versus the reward. Some lengthy family discussions and a few weeks passed. My old regrets re-surfaced and I decided that I did not want to miss out on a second chance. The first three weeks, were worrisome! I was feeling lost and I wasn't coping. I was older than most of the students in the class. But was constantly reassured - this was normal, and everything would fall into place. The cynic hadn't given up yet and, I thought, this was just another good sales pitch. I seriously considered bailing out, cutting my losses and simply facing the one-third bill for the course. With a lot of concern and very positive talk from the trainer, I stayed on and began to see progress. Half-way through the course the Career Services took over, I thought the promises of assistance were too good to be true. I went along, and happily, once again, was proven wrong. The Director of Placement went above and beyond the call of duty, producing a winning resume that would be good enough for me to send to Bill Gates himself. (Maybe, I should do that anyway!) I completed my MCP and surprised even myself. In ten days, I will take the MCSA test. I am extremely proud of my achievements and I do not believe that I could have done this with just my family's support. Throughout the course, I found a caring and supportive extended family in the ComputerTraining.com staff. I thank you all for the opportunity. Before the course was completed I had secured a part-time, help-desk position, which I thoroughly enjoy. Looking ahead, I have a very solid resume, hands-on experience, and am pursing a career I thought was lost to me. You have turned me into a believer! Once again, thank you all!" Michael Beetar MCP

"I had taken some networking classes when I was a sophomore in College. The instructor was horrible and I quickly decided that networking was not for me. I spent a few years after that taking random courses and working as a plumber. My brother at the same time I was taking my networking classes was going to another networking fast prep course. His experience was horrible in trying to get a job after that and ended up working for $6.50 an hour after basically begging them to hire him. I was so put off but when I looked into getting back into networking years later I met with the team at ComputerTraining.com and thought that everyone seemed very professional and truly enjoyed their jobs. The placement director at ComputerTraining.com is what really seemed to put this school above the others I looked into. Though I did not end up needing their help, I felt confident that if I did not take the job I did I would have had a very qualified person helping me all the way through the whole process. The people that I met while in class were great. Many of which helped each other every night with either explaining things as they understood them, arguing over the right way to implement things, or just supporting one another through a long six months of training. Our teacher was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain anything that we seemed to need a little extra help with. I now have been working for only a few weeks but the training I received here was extremely helpful in landing the first job which I am thoroughly enjoying since high school. It was a stressful six months but I feel I gained the knowledge necessary to successfully work and succeed in the IT field." Nathan Casserly MCP

"Before I started class I as an average computer geek, and now that I have finished class I realize there was so much to learn! I am currently searching for a job and I haven’t worked since before my daughter was born, so it’s great to have new skills! I was not sure I was going to be able to keep up with the class and understand all the extra technical stuff, but my instructor was there for me every step of the way, as well as my classmates. For the new students coming in, I would tell them to be prepared to study a lot, and ask questions! It’s the only way to learn. Don’t be afraid to rely on the instructor for help that is what they are there for! I am much more knowledgeable now in computers, and I feel confident in any job in the IT field." Vanessa St. Pierre MCP

"I have worked in IT for over ten years, but I wanted to earn more and move to a new location.  I came to ComputerTraining.com to obtain much-needed certifications.  I feel that this program was my gateway to newer and better things! Though I didn’t have any fears about computers, I hadn’t been to school in a while, and I was eagerly anticipating classes.  I learned a lot from my instructor, and the most important advice I would give students is to take tests and take them often.  People are afraid to test, but it’s the only way to get certifications! I have a new job with an $18,000 a year salary hike and I’m still testing!" David Shanahan MCP

"My computer background consisted of basically fooling around and experimenting at home with my own PCs.  I thought to myself that I could get paid for doing these kinds of things. Having been in Real Estate for the past five years, the thought of better income and schedule stability seemed very appealing, especially after just getting married! So I took the online exam and off I went.  I feel much more confident in my technical abilities and knowledge of computers in general.  Getting certified certainly opened up some new career opportunities for me. My biggest concerns before the program started were the cost and fear of the unknown!  I guess you just don’t know what you don’t know!  Face those fears! For the money and time you invest in yourself you’ll earn a lifelong career, and it’s worth it!" Rui Fernandes MCP

"I closed a printing business I had owned for ten years. I tried to find a job in the printing industry for close to a year. I could not find anything in the income level I needed. I heard the ad for ComputerTraining.com many times on the radio and took the online test. I knew my way around a computer but knew nothing about networking. The first thing I noticed when the classes started was how focused ComputerTraining.com was in seeing me succeed in this program. The second thing I noticed was how knowledgeable the trainer was in the curriculum and how energetic and passionate he was in teaching and helping me succeed. The classes were full of energy. Within three months of getting my first certificate they had found me a position in IT. My new job is exciting, the pay is good and I am learning new things everyday. ComputerTraining.com gave me everything they said they would and a lot more." Tim Fox MCP IT Help Desk

"Before I signed up for ComputerTraining.com I was working in a dead end job at a pizza shop. I was working six days a week, sometimes with a twelve-hour shift. I was hearing the ComputerTraining.com commercials on the radio but wasn't sure if I should go for it or not. I thought that it was another useless school. But then one day I had an argument with one of my co-workers before my shift ended. I got in to my car and heard the commercial again. That's when I decided to call ComputerTraining.com. I took the Online Skills Challenge and got accepted. When I went to the school they told me that the companies are looking for certified people. After the meeting I went home and made a random job search in the IT field. I was amazed by results. Almost every company was requiring a Microsoft certificate. Hands-on training to earn a certificate was what ComputerTraining.com was offering. I called them back and told them I was interested in the program. The first day of class I met the instructor and was amazed by the knowledge that he had. He wais so friendly. He knew that the people in the classroom were there to learn and he would do anything to teach them. He is by far the best teacher I have ever had and will ever have. He would know the answer to every question I asked right away. When he would answer our questions he would always give real world examples, which made it very easy to remember. He would not only answer the question but, if it was possible, he would demonstrate it. After the third month of my training I got my MCP certification and Career Services started to send my resume to companies. She did a great job. She would call before the interviews and check on me to make sure that I had everything all set. She would give me advice even though she and I had already had a mock interview. Everything that we talked about in the mock interview was there in the real interview. The employers would also ask me technical questions, but thanks to my great instructor and his knowledge I would answer them right away. I was getting phone calls like never before. Eventually I was getting job offers and I was able to pick which company I wanted to work with. As soon as I got my MCSA I started to pick the companies that I was interested in. Right now I am a System Administrator for Citara Systems. I can't believe in a very short time my life has changed this much. Thanks to my instructor and career services from ComputerTraining.com." Fatih Bahsi MCP Systems Administrator

"I have always been fascinated with computers. I could manage my e-mails, music, pictures and to some degree fix my computer hardware and software problems. I thought about going back to college to study computer science, but the fact that it takes four years and a hefty tuition to achieve my goal made me decide not to. I continued to work in the hotel industry as I had been doing for over twelve years. When I first heard the ad for ComputerTraining.com on the radio, I just brushed it off...but then I heard it over and over until the day when I decided to check out the website. I took the test and then received a phone call. Even at that point I was still somewhat skeptical, but I went through with it and joined ComputerTraining.com. It seemed hard at first, but I had an excellent instructor who made me believe that I could have success in the program, then hands-on activities in class, and online. The build labs are just an example of the real world, hands-on training and great material that prepared me for the exams. I had a Career Services director that helped me put together a resume and cover letter. She also helped me with the interview process and got me in touch with potential employers. A couple of weeks after my graduation, I found a very good job as a data center technician. I can't be any happier of how things turned out. I would never have believed I could get to where I am in such a short time. Of course it took hard work and very high confidence." Abdul Asrary MCP, MCSA Data Center Technician

"One morning while driving to work, I was sitting in my car drinking my coffee. An advertisement came on the radio. I can still remember some of the questions asked, "Do you make less than $50,000 a year?" I said out loud in my car, "Yes." It was as if the advertisement was actually talking to me. I was ready for a career change. That night when I got home I went to www.computertraining.com. I took the Online Skills Challenge and went to take a tour of the facility later that week. I worked hard for six months. It was definitely worth it. I am now working in a field with unlimited growth and direction. I still have a few more tests to take until my MCSE. ComputerTraining.com provided me with the tools and introduction needed in the IT industry to succeed. I couldn't have done it without all the help and confidence from the instructors and other staff members at ComputerTraining.com. Thanks ComputerTraining.com for the push in the right direction." Rachel Tasker MCP Help Desk Coodinator

"I came to ComputerTraining.com because I have always enjoyed computers and wanted a fast paced career that could take advantage of my natural talents. I had tried selling computers before but that was not for me. The process of enrolling and financial assistance was great and before I knew it I was starting my first class. It was a good deal of work and I had to give up on some of the small things for a few months but I learned an incredible amount. Once I started getting my certifications, which was exciting, I started my job search. I actually had a choice of jobs to go for which was very exciting. I am now working in a job that has amazing room for advancement and is exactly what I wanted to do. It was hard work but it was worth it!" Ryan Krebs MCTS, MCP Technical Support Engineer
