Christopher B. Amara, Jr. US Army Veteran

As a United States Army veteran, I participated in four (4) combat tours and a tour of duty to South Korea. I am a three (3) time veteran of Iraq, serving in various capacities in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) I, III and Operation New Dawn (OND) which ended the war in Iraq in December 2011. Additionally, I deployed to Afghanistan for the first time in January 2014. I enlisted in the Army Reserves for some time and enrolled in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at Saint John’s University, in Queens New York, in September 1999 and was commissioned on June 2 2001. I was a New York state resident until November 2015, which is when I moved to Michigan to stay. I made what was probably an audacious and less than sagacious move to come to Michigan without any guarantee of a job, but it was the conversation I had with the Director, Mr. Manish Modi; that motivated me to enroll at Global Information Technology (GIT) for Information Technology (IT) training. The insights he provided me mitigated much of the risk associated with my decision. In all, the instructors are just phenomenal and knowledgeable in their craft. Additionally, the GIT job placement team provided direction and assistance in seeking employment for students who had experience in other areas. I can honestly say it has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my life.

I was a veteran who wanted to start a second career in IT. I had a bad experience with another computer training company, which actually had me about ready to quit, I was introduced to Global Information Technology by my VA counselor and the rest is ALL GOOD! Global IT has been proactive on my behalf since the day we met and I thank him for pushing me, encouraging me and believing in me. They assists me with any barriers I have in pursuing my educational goals. I have taken A+, Networking, Security and am currently in the Microsoft Office 2016 class. I am learning invaluable skills which I am actually using on a job that I have gotten since starting at Global IT. My current employer was thrilled when they heard about my course work and educational endeavors. I could not be happier or prouder to be associated with Global Information Technology and would recommend this organization to anyone based on my personal experience with them. TOP NOTCH PROFESSIONALS. I am very satisfied and have found a HOME at GLOBAL IT!

While serving in the military I often found myself interested in pursuing a career within IT. Shortly after exiting the military, I started my journey and landed a position as an apprentice with a global consulting firm. I was quickly able to recognize that I was going to need more knowledge than just a web development bootcamp that I had previous attended and completed. I learned that I needed more knowledge of the new emerging technologies in-order to keep my career moving upward in the fast-paced IT industry while making meaningful contributions to both my team and the organization. I started to have second thoughts as I was already engaged during regular school and business hours; I figured it was way too difficult to enroll in school while working full-time. Luckily, I found Global Information Technology, and right away, I felt at ease with the abundance of course offerings, many payment options, and flexible class schedules. I could do an evening schedule which worked perfectly with my work schedule at the time. My experience from start to finish was seamless; everything was transparent and even felt very personalized from day one. The instructors are knowledgeable and bring real-world experience by working with top tech companies. From the beginning, the instructors and staff assisting with the day-to-day operations demonstrated that my success was their top priority. There were constant check-ins that ensured experience and course quality were superb. After completing my first set of courses, I decided to pursue more because it was so seamless. Fast forward to today, I’m now an AWS Certified Solutions Architect specializing in serverless architecture with a web development background. I help guide enterprises to the cloud with their specific cloud needs. I was also able to understand more than just my area of expertise with the many courses offered at Global Information Technology, making me that much more of a stronger contributor within my organization. I attended the AWS course series, network +, sec +, and many within cyber security. Attending Global Information Technology was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made to enhance my career. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to do the same. Thank you. Brian Cancel 11/11/2022

I just wanted to express my feelings about Global Information Technology and their staff. First let me say I have never encountered an organization that cares about the students as much as GIT. After working many years for an automotive supplier in the auto industry I found myself unemployed, without a degree or any certifications and having difficulty finding another job related to that industry. I was in need of a career change and I decided the IT field was the area for me. Thanks to the Michigan Works agency I was able to gain assistance accessing funds for IT training. Choosing the right school was a very hard and difficult decision to make seeing as my future was at stake, I can't explain how tough it was going from the bread winner and family provider to not having a job at all. Now I had to make the important decision of choosing the IT training provider that I felt was right for me, remember my future was at stake here and I couldn't afford to get this wrong. I looked at quite a few IT training schools when considering a change in careers and pursuing the training necessary to achieve success. And the one that caught my eye had the slick radio ads, fancy office space they were leasing and exorbitant pricing. Well let me just say they are no longer around, and I know I made the right decision when I chose to get my training at GIT. They not only offered technical training but also provided non IT training workshops covering everything from creating the perfect resume, interviewing techniques to the value of networking, salary negotiation. We all know that they are a business and they must maintain a profit margin that allows them to function, make payroll and stay in business. But with that in mind Global Information Technology still place a very high priority in their students success. The school is flexible with their schedule understanding that some students have to work and things happen. My account manager is a genuine professional who doesn’t just sign you up for a program and walk away. He has an open door and your concerns are his concerns, he will try to do whatever he can to accommodate your situation. And their student services manager is the best, she will go out of her way to see that your needs are met. When I say out of her way I definitely mean out of her way! I can’t say enough about the job placement manager who in my mind is the best at what she does. She has years of experience and has developed many contacts and resources which she utilizes in helping students get their IT careers moving forward. I have witnessed her go above and beyond what is required of her in trying to help students find jobs. Trust me when I say she is the best! The instructors are true professionals who have real workplace experience that are there for you even after you have completed their classes. The state of the art labs are equipped with the latest technology providing the students with a real world work place training environment. The school manager always gave me encouragement and constantly emphasized staying positive and not giving up. Since starting my classes at GIT I have achieved various certifications such as CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, Microsoft Certified Professional for XP and ISA Server 2006 towards MCSE and Oracle SQL. And I don't plan on stopping there I have many more certifications to obtain in the future. However by obtaining my certifications through Global Information Technology I positioned myself to start a new career in the IT field and now have a new job in IT as a Technical Support Representative. At Global Information Technology I felt like I was family and not just a contract pushed through the door and for that I say thank you to the staff of GIT! Keep up the good work and launching more IT professional careers.

I am delighted to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Global Information Technology (GIT). In January 2009, I decided to follow on a Networking program at Global Information Technology (GIT). I researched and reviewed several IT training programs in the Michigan area but found out that GIT gave me so much more for my money and my time. Since I walked through the doors of GIT, the staff has been very helpful and supportive of my IT career. All of my professors are certified, passionate and very knowledgeable about the course they are teaching. The course and my professors have helped to make me more professional and have greatly upgraded my computer skills; so that I can be more marketable as an IT professional and adequately compete in this very demanding workforce. Another great thing about GIT is that they offer day and night classes 7 days a week. GIT class schedules are very flexible and are sure to fit anyone’s hectic life. If you’re a person who’s always on the go, have kids and/or maybe even a career, GIT classes and staff will work around your schedule to help you continue and finish up your IT training. My experience at GIT has been very positive and I would recommend GIT to any beginner and/or IT professional who may be looking for a career change or even just a refresher course.

Thank you for changing my life. Before I started Global Information Technology (GIT), I felt like I'd be selling shoes for $7.50 an hour for the rest of my life. My lack of self esteem made me miss out on great opportunities. Your wonderful Network Engineering Professional program and extremely helpful staff helped me to see and tap in to my true potential. When I first started the Network Engineering program, I was a little skeptical in its success and G.I.T’s staff. After sitting through yours course with a balanced knowledge of practical and theory, I feel fortunate to be here in GIT. I am currently going through my second last module of MCSE 2003, I have not attained a single certification, however, I’ve already found a great paying I.T related job with Blue Cross Blue Shield as a Administrator. I cannot believe how much my life has changed in the past 4 or 5 months; I have high self esteem and a great job, life is great. When things couldn’t get worse G.I.T served as a silver lining over my dark clouds. I highly recommend this school to anyone who feels trapped in their job. G.I.T provides their students with all the tools they need to succeed. G.I.T’s friendly staff makes you feel like family; this school’s atmosphere is completely different from any other schools I have attended in the past. Thank you G.I.T, please continue to change lives!!!!!!!!

I am writing this letter with extreme gratitude and appreciation. In the early spring of 2006 I decided to embark on a journey of your Network Engineering program. I knew the program would take much time and effort on both my part and yours. Before I started this program I wanted to make sure that this school would be the right choice and fit for me. I am pleased to say that it definitely was. Your staff was and still remains very friendly, flexible, and informative. Any questions I had were always answered in a timely manner and the instructors I had were always very knowledgeable in the material being covered. Upon recently completing my certification course I was offered a much better position with a large data storage company. The job pays double what I was currently making and is at a much higher knowledgeable scale than what I was currently doing. In conclusion, I would truly like to thank you and GIobal IT for all help, guidance, job placement and providing superior quality service. I am confident to say that choosing this course at your facility rather that going somewhere else was undoubtedly the right decision.

Dear Manish: I wanted to also take this opportunity to thank you, and the Staff at Global IT. You and your staff all really changed my life. I know you all know my story and where I came from and where I am now. If it were not for how you conduct classes, and the extra care you show your students I would not be where I am today. I really do appreciate all that You did for me, and continue to do. You are all Rock Stars! When I started at Global IT, I was Living in a homeless shelter for Veterans. They worked with me to help me attend school, and helped me get placed into a Job, when that first Job did not work out, they helped me recover from that situation to rebound into another Job. The help they gave me allowed me to make the transition from being Homeless to have a Place to live. Their constant support helped me through the very depressing time of being homeless. I would highly recommendGlobal Information Technology to anyone that Is interested in getting into the IT Industry. They really changed my life for the better. Bradley Freeland

I spent years working as an electrical technician for a tier one automotive supplier. Recently with the down turn with the big 3, my job like many others became very unstable and I spent a lot of time laid off or underemployed. After filing for unemployment for the third time that year I spoke with a career advisor who told me about the No Worker Left behind program. It took almost no thought as to what I would like to pursue as a new career, I’ve always been very good with computers and knew that it was a career to pursue. My advisor gave me a brochure for GIT and I had and set up within an hour. I spoke with Account Manager at Global and she basically laid out an entire career pathway with classes , certifications and job placement. By the end of my first meeting at Global I had a plan, a career goal , and a realistic time frame. I started classes within two months and was instantly exposed to varies IT professionals , from all my instructors , job placement ,and even the Director at School. I was set with six courses that would give me 11 certifications by the time I was done all with the budget I had set. Within 7 weeks of starting school I had my first certification and before I finished my courses job placement @ Global found me a position as a System admin for Detroit Public Schools, it all been up hill from there, I currently work for General Motors and I’m pursuing more certification and it all thanks to the team at Global Information Technology.
