Cert in Information Science/Studies

The Information System Technician certificate trains students to support computers and networks in an office setting. Typical duties include helping users with desktops and printers, installing routers, switches, and cabling, and watching networks to keep them running smoothly. The plan is a single fall semester of electronics and computing classes, among them digital electronics, operating system support, computing hardware, and network technologies. Technicians may also install servers, run backups, and check that antivirus tools stay updated. The program page directs applicants to the tuition and fees page for cost estimates and notes that students buy their own classroom materials and tools. Prospective students can review the semester-by-semester course list in the linked program guide and apply online through the college. An advisor can explain how the program fits a student's goals and schedule, and the tuition and fees page helps with cost estimates.
