• Student Pathways
     
    Two high school pathways are shown.  IT Essentials: PC Repair and Discovery: Networking can be taken independently of each other but the PC Repair course provides a good foundation before learning networking topics.  Courses can be offered in a semester or a year.  The A+ and CCENT certificates should be supplemented with courses in a college IT program to provide a student with a competitive advantage in employability.  The CCENT is a step towards the CCNA, wich provides a solid advantage to job-seekers.
