This is just a note of thanks to you and your staff to express how pleased I am with the education I am receiving from Global Information Technology. In March, 2007 I was without employment for the second time within four months. Even though I had a Master of Arts Degree in Education, the lack of current knowledge in technology does not make a candidate competitive in todays job market. So after getting advice from some technical recruiters I decided to go back to school and get training in some of the most popular software products available in the marketplace. In June 2007, I began my schooling at Global IT in the Microsoft Office 2007 Professional courses and I am currently enrolled in Web Pro courses. After only a couple of months of training I earned the title of Microsoft Certified Application Specialist and today I am working with potential clients in hopes of helping them design databases to help them better organize and manage the information they deal with on a daily basis. Soon I will be finished with the Web Pro courses and already I have three potential clients that want me to design their websites. The demand for experts and specialists in the IT field is so strong that the need to be educated in the field is a must in todays world. I would highly recommend IT training at Global Information Technology to anyone that wants to stay competitive in todays job market. I want to thank you and your staff for helping me prepare for my future. Global Information Technologys professionalism and dedication to the student is truly appreciated

In mid-2012, I was at a cross-road in my life after being informed that the position I held for over 11 years was being eliminated. I realized then that my skills needed to be updated to take me into a new line of work. That's when I met one of your career advisors at Detroit career fairs. After talking with her for a few minutes, she understood completely the new path I wanted to undertake and as follow-up, invited me to the Global Information Technology (GIT) office in Southfield for an interview. She also introduced me to the appropriate people at the Michigan Works! Office who could arrange state funding for the Business Analysis and pre-requisite Microsoft Office 2010 courses I wished to take. After learning that I qualified for the funding, I began my journey with Global Information Technology in the fall of 2012. Let me say that it was a pleasure working with your instructors for the MS Office 2010 and the Business Analysis courses, as well as the entire staff at GIT. Both my instructors really cared about the people in their classes and were always available to help with questions, before and after the courses ended. As a bonus, I'm honored to have been part of the first Business Analysis course offered by GIT! I have now completed my training, already have 3 Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certifications under my belt, and have plans to complete 2 more within short order. Also, I am very pleased to announce that I am starting a new career as a direct hire with a major automotive company with great pay! My past experiences, along with my newfound skills, have given me new confidence, all of which will be beneficial as I start my new job. Some words of advice for those still unemployed: Never give up on your search for your dream job, get the training you need, NETWORK, and volunteer!! I did all of the above. The simple act of helping out once or twice a week at Love INC of North Oakland County while still looking for full-time work and completing coursework at GIT had a positive effect on my life. Talking with people in dire need will increase your awareness of those around you and really make you appreciate all the gifts and talents that you do have to offer on both a personal and professional level.

I am writing you this letting in praise of GIT, its wonderful staff and the learning experience I had in my time there. I have been an IT professional for 10+ years but never took the time to obtain any credentials or certifications along the way. When I finally decided it was time to do so, GIT was there to make the experience easy and straightforward. I was able to enroll in Network Security classes almost immediately with little effort on my part, your staff led me through the process and calmed all reservations I had. I have been to so-called “boot camps” that did not prepare me for the challenge of actually knowing the material I would be testing for. They only provided the answer sheets I could have downloaded off the internet myself. The environment your school provides not only is inviting but makes it easier to actually learn the material provided because there is no brain cram that comes along with boot camps. I have to say though, I was nervous going into my first class believing the instructor may not be able to teach me more then I already knew, this issue went away when I met my Network instructor on day one. He is one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met and his resume speaks for itself. Even the topics I thought I already had a firm grasp on, he was able to enlighten me with more information. He stayed late after class for students that needed extra help and I watched as different students thanked him for help after having passed multiple certifications. Recently, I accepted an IT position in California that took me away from your instruction but during my time I found a desire to continue my studies that I had not had in years. I will be testing for my MCSE this month after having passed my Security + recently. Thank you for your encouragement in the time I was enrolled, I can honestly say your school, instructors and staff have put my mind at ease about wanting to excel in obtaining future certifications. Thank you again.

I began taking the Windows 2000 MCSE track in June of 2001. I decided to check out GIT after hearing an ad on the radio, and after viewing the facilities I signed up immediately. I attended classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the class ended in February 2002. I chose the MCSE course because I was very taken with System Administration. I already had experience with Windows NT and 2000, but the training that I got at GIT was invaluable. I had my own personal hard drive and worked with every aspect of the material we were studying hands-on. I took my first test on February 28th, and through July 2nd passed the remaining six. I was very motivated by the staff to excel, and I was the first member of my class to become fully certified. Upon completing my testing I traveled to England where I stayed until May 2003. Now that I’m back in the States I plan on getting a job and upgrading my MCSE to 2003. Overall I must say that if not for GIT I would never have had the motivation to become a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer.

This letter is recognition of Global Information Technology for their outstanding computer training courses. I have been attending courses at GIobal IT and have recently completed my course work for Microsoft Office Professional. I found the experience to be both enriching and gratifying. The instruction was easy to follow and very thorough. I highly recommend these courses to any and all professionals that seek to enhance their background and professional integrity. The course material was clear, concise and as enjoyable to learn as any that I have had the pleasure of studying. I would like to take this opportunity to thank entire Global IT team for always being very polite and helpful showing the utmost in professional courtesy for their students. The classrooms were small enough to be conducive to the best possible learning experience. I will take what I have learned and continue to grow in my career interests wherever that path may take me. By no means do I consider myself done with GIobal IT but at the beginning of an increasingly beneficial road to success in achieving my goals.

After being laid-off and getting frustrated looking for work in the current market with outdated AS/400 and Mainframe skills, I decided to visit a few training providers to investigate some tech training to upgrade my skills set. The third one I visited was Global Information Technology. My first impression was very positive. The representative’s passionate commitment to the Information Technology field soon convinced me that I need search no further. Since I was looking to move from my current Mainframe programming skills to newer and more cutting edge work, I signed up for Oracle DBA, Java Pro, Web Pro, and the dot-net courses. Global I.T. was very accommodating to all my needs and was able to supply me with everything I needed. All of my instructors were very knowledgeable in their areas of expertise and proficient at communicating the material. When I had questions they were answered thoroughly. I have been very impressed with the value of the training I have received from Global IT and would not hesitate to return for additional training if I ever have the need. In addition, after a few weeks of training I mentioned my Oracle classes during an interview. Three times during the remainder of the interview I was asked questions about my training. I got the job and was told that they had plans to move in the “direction of Oracle”. I am certain that my training was influential to my landing the position. My hat’s off to Global I.T.

I was a Computer Technician with a major Corporation for 33 years when organization downsizing impacted my career. After 33 years, it was hard to fathom unemployment not to mention what to do next. I was angry, frustrated, and upset! After a few calming days of contemplation and a few weeks of unsuccessful job searches, I realized that an update to my technical skills could make me more marketable and employable. With a new resolve, I turned that anger to motivation and a new desire to succeed! I was referred to Global Information Technology (Global IT) and introduced to a program that was “on target” with my goals and aspirations. I made a decision on the to start my re-training as soon as possible. And with a little help from a Michigan Works grant, I began my training as a Network Engineering Professional in January of 2013. Today, I have completed my training in CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, MCITP and CCNA. I have also recently completed industry-level certifications in CompTIA A+ and Network+ and I will complete my MCITP training in a few weeks. Further, I am currently on target to get my CompTIA Security+, and CCNA certifications by the Summer of 2014. I too am amazed at the confidence I have now and even more impressed with the new skills I have acquired. I immediately found a part-time job at Network Dynamics and in January 2014, I was hired to a full-time position in my field with Chrysler Corporation which includes great pay and excellent benefits! I am extremely grateful to Michigan Works for the grant that enabled me to fulfill my dream, and the Global IT Staff for their ongoing support and encouragement which led me to reach my training goals. I now see a bright future ahead!

I'd just like to thank Global IT for getting my career back on track. Before joining your school I was at a major crossroads in my life; I had depleted my unemployment benefits and was deciding on which direction to take my career. The economy was making companies close their doors and companies which did take interest in my IT skills were only offering minimum pay. It was then that I realized I needed additional schooling and certifications………. From day one my career advisor at Global IT made things very clear to me and provided a hope that I had not experienced in quite some time. Taking the full networking package (A+, Network +, MCP, MCSA,MCSE 2003 and Security +), I found that not only I was receiving a quality education, but also finding other valuable resources here as well. Global IT help me tremendously in securing funding from Michigan Works! and made the process of enrolling so simple. It was not very long from the time I enrolled that my technical skills were greatly enhanced, and now I am working in the industry as Tech Support that I enjoy earning market value and benefits plus with the opportunity for future advancement. The placement services department worked with me, knowing my situation well and continued to do everything in their power to find what I was looking for. Their hard work paid off. Global IT was very instrumental in preparing me for work, and giving me the confidence I need to actually utilize what I have learned in class. I will not hesitate to let anyone know of the great job you all are doing. Keep it up!

I’d like to take my time to thank you and GIT for your wonderful assistance with getting me into a successful IT Career. You and your staff demonstrated great care in ensuring that I was able to be placed in a great job after completing my classes at the school, offering help with resume creation and recommendation letters. With the small class room sizes and great teachers it made the whole learning process a great experience, especially for someone like me who loves to ask a lot of questions. I felt the teacher’s always very knowledgeable due to their real world experience on the subjects and extensive certifications. Thank you again for all you have done and continue to do to ensure my life is a success! I am so grateful for all the continued support you and your staff offer me even years after I completed my training. Thank you Global Information Technology for changing my life and made me who I am today – successful IT Professional.
