Restore Education’s college readiness program bridges this gap by putting college preparation within reach for students across Bexar County. With our help, students are less likely to end up in remedial courses and more likely to persist in college.

The Information Technology training course provides instruction on the foundations of IT, programming, and network support. Students will master the technical skills of programming and computer support. Other skills to be acquired include courses in professionalism, verbal communication, analyzing information, and critical thinking/problem-solving. IT training is intended to equip students with basic skills and knowledge for entry-level positions such as help desk, desktop support, or other tech support positions. Graduates of this program will be eligible to sit for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals and A+ certification.
