Network Support Technician

Certificate of Proficiency

A one year certificate can enable students to gain core networking skills and knowledge complementing employable skills in computer help desks and other entry-level positions.

Additionally, if a student has to withdraw prior to completion of the CIS one year Certificate of Proficiency and/or an ATA degree, they will have this certificate to assist them with employment options. Many employers support students who do get a job after obtaining their certificate in completing their ATA at OC through their company’s training programs.
