“This experience was amazing. I had a wonderful instructor and everything went smoothly. When you don't get it the first time do not give up. It will come to you. This program helped me a lot with learning more on top of having a degree.”

"My experience with this program has been eye opening and chill. When you see coding on tv they always portray the programmer as this super genius who memories every code they use and it really made me feel like I could never do it. But while doing projects and building functional applications with the help of my instructor I realized tv makes everything more dramatic. Coding isn't staring at a screen for hours on end, although it could be, but it's actually a very chilld experience where you maight only write one line of code in a few hours. And that alright. It's fun, and I enjoyed my time."

"Techworks was an intense but rewarding program. The classes were not large. There was one on one instruction when needed. But most of all the encouragement and motivation given to succeed was out of this world. I am grateful that I had this wonderful experience. I would encourage anyone looking to get into IT to absolutely try Techworks!"

"When I started this program I just wanted a certificate. I learned not only about tech and networking, I was inspiered! The trainer and my classmates helped me when I felt like I could not go on. When I felt I was to slow to get it they helped me to see that I was not alone. I wasn't the ony one to feel the way I felt. They helped me to write my first resume that was professional! How to approch a job search! This program gives so much more than they or I can put into words."
