My experience with Global Information Technology has proven to be exceedingly beneficial. Through the VA VET TEC program and my attendance at Global IT, I was able to complete the IT Professional 4 courses.
Along with the valuable training and resources that GIT has provided, I not only have a better understanding of these subjects but can also complete certification exams in these areas. Thanks to the incredible assistance from the staff at Global IT, I am optimistic about pursuing a career in the Information Technology industry. With the vast array of tech courses offered, and the knowledgeable instructors and accommodating staff available, this institution truly offers something for everyone.
Thank you.
