Have you ever been the “go-to” person for family and friends when their computer acts up? If you enjoy troubleshooting and have a natural curiosity for technology, a career as a computer technician could be a perfect fit. The I.T. field can seem intimidating from the outside, but with the right training, you can go from having zero experience to being a certified “tech hero” in less than a year. Hunter Business School’s Computer Technician and Networking Specialist program in Levittown and Medford is designed for beginners.
- “Do I Need a College Degree?” No. While a bachelor’s degree is a path for some in I.T., it’s not a requirement for an entry-level position as a computer technician. Employers on Long Island are often more interested in your practical skills and certifications. Our program focuses on hands-on training that prepares you for industry-recognized certifications like the CompTIA A+ and Network+ exams, which are often considered the gold standard for getting your foot in the door.
- “What Will I Actually Learn?” Our curriculum is built to give you the skills employers are looking for right now. You won’t just learn about computers—you’ll get your hands on them. You’ll learn to:
- Disassemble and rebuild a functional computer from scratch.
- Diagnose and fix both hardware and software issues.
- Build and maintain a small office/home office (SOHO) network.
- Work with different operating systems, like Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- “How Long Does It Take?” Our Computer Technician Networking Specialist program can be completed in just 7½ months for the day program or 15 months for the evening program. This allows you to get into a high-demand career field much faster than with a traditional college degree, so you can start earning and building your professional experience sooner. Plus, you get to keep the computer and tools you build in the program—a tangible start to your new career.
