Cert in Computer and Information Sciences, General

This certificate at Santa Fe College trains students for entry-level work as IT support technicians, who set up, maintain and fix computer hardware and software for organizations. Completing the credential leaves graduates well placed to continue into the Computer Information Technology associate degree or to head toward a four-year degree in computing. Admission carries no special requirements, and students who are not yet at college level can take preparatory classes first and still enter the program. Learners may also pair it with another program at the same time. The page prices the certificate by the credit hour, and books, lab charges and the technology needed for online coursework are extra. Prospective students are encouraged to speak with an advisor about sequencing, since planning ahead helps them stay on track toward finishing.
