IT Workforce Accelerator

Student Testimonials

The instructor’s teaching style is great. Learning a new programming language can be intimidating, but he breaks it down step by step with plenty of opportunities for students to ask questions. The coursework was engaging, and I enjoyed solving the problems because they allow you the freedom to code your own solutions. Seeing everyone’s different code was a good learning experience. Going through this course has helped me so much. As a full-time employee and a husband and father, the courses provided by the IT Workforce Accelerator grant have allowed me the chance to continue my education and further my career while still allowing me the time to be with family.

This was a great self-paced course that I could do while working two jobs. I really enjoyed working with the zyBooks platform, and the professor was very responsive in answering any questions I had.

The IT Accelerator program was wonderful honestly. It gave me the freedom to choose what classes I was interested in pursuing based on what roles I’d like to cross-train into with TADA. Plus, with the very flexible class schedules (at your own pace online, class-oriented online, or class-oriented in person), I never had a conflict with how to prioritize class and work. I’m definitely going to be taking more classes in the near future.

I have really enjoyed my class and learning about something completely different from my usual career path of social work … I am often highly irritated at tech because I don’t understand it or feel incompetent! So, at 51 years old, I walked into a college classroom for the first time in almost 30 years to learn about a subject that was completely new to me … And I get to be creative and write! I never in a million years could have predicted this. Best program ever.

This program is the best first step towards an exciting career for any aspiring cybersecurity professional.

Completing the online cybersecurity certificate through Eureka College has been an exciting experience for me. The synchronous learning approach and real-world scenarios enhanced my practical skills, giving me confidence in tackling cybersecurity challenges. The course successfully prepared me for the CompTIA Security+ exam, which I was able to pass on my first attempt!
