Centriq

"TL:DR $$$ not equal to content delivered. Instructors were best part. Not their fault about content. (Stl site, IT cloud sec. course) I took the It and cloud security course, and it was a good overview of all the topics one might need to know in IT. However, for the price tag, not worth it. All of the typos in the course content, an overinflated resume that gets written up, poor LinkedIN page development (finding out about this post graduation) and lack of truly becoming proficient in one skill is disappointing. They include the costs of tests ($500 for one of them) in tuition fee, but do not ensure all of the information is retained to pass it. Out of my cohort no one has taken it yet do to lack of knowledge to pass, and only one other is planning on taking it at sometime. In the cohort before me, I reached out and none of them have taken it yet either. You have to spend weeks studying on your own past graduation to take the test successfully (assuming no prior knowledge in IT). On the plus side, they give you a computer. On the down side, they install an administrative account on it that you can't remove and do not clean it off before you leave. I have gotten much better education and support from a secondary boot camp for a third of the cost of Centriq. I'm saying don't go there, but I am saying that you can find all the same material online for cheap to free. Also, be prepared for your first job to be around $19/hr for a long time after graduating, so if you are taking a major pay cut, double think."

"As far as licensing test locations go, this one is pretty great. The computer room is clean and comfortable, and the staff is very friendly and helpful."

"Centriq Training is a great place to learn new IT skills! I've been a student there many times, and always felt like they had great customer service and the instructors are very knowledgeable."

"Premier Knowledge thoroughly follows the official coursework format very well. I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot."

"My experience at (PKS) was one to remember. They offered free doughnut's, coffee, water and also had a convenient balcony with table and chairs that accompanied the second floor to say the least. The most memorable thing was how well Mr. Peter Hand knew his stuff. He explained everything in detail before you could ask as if he knew what you were going to ask. It was a great 3 day course and I can't wait to attend my next course. I class I took was Comptia Strata: Intro to IT Fundamentals"
