For most people, there is a certain amount of anxiety that comes with financing a college education via student loans. Just the thought of graduating with tens of thousands of dollars in debt hanging over your head can make college seem out of reach. We would like to offer you an alternative.
Certification training is a less expensive option. Here at ProTrain, we offer certification training online. Our courses are highly focused and industry-specific. We offer courses with different structures and different outcomes. But when all is said and done, we offer the ability to access career training and still maintain a reasonable budget. In short, career training doesn’t have to be financially out of reach.
Trillions and Cumulative Debt
Data provided by NerdWallet reveals that America’s cumulative student loan debt currently stands in excess of $17.7 trillion. The average American adult with outstanding student debt is more than $29,000. Those are significant numbers by any measure.
Graduating from college with nearly $30k of outstanding debt is like immediately financing a brand-new car with no money down. It’s like putting a down payment on a modest suburban home. All that extra debt takes time to pay off. It also cuts into the monthly budget.
Granted, some careers are out of reach without a college degree. If you’re looking to be a doctor or an attorney, for example, you have little choice but to spend a significant amount of time in college. But what if your career doesn’t require a formal degree? What if you could gain the knowledge and skills that you need through certification training? That’s what we offer at ProTrain.
CompTIA Training at ProTrain
CompTIA training perfectly illustrates the point we want to drive home with this post. CompTIA is an abbreviation of the Computing Technology Industry Association, a nationally recognized organization that issues vendor-neutral certificates to individuals who pass qualifying courses.
ProTrain is proud to offer a complete selection of CompTIA courses. Here is just a quick sample:
- CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ CLO-002
- CompTIA A+ 220-1101 and 220-1102
- CompTIA Data+ DA0-001
- CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) CS0-003
- CompTIA DataSys+ DS0-001
- CompTIA DataX DY0-001
Each of these courses is competitively priced when compared to the cost of a four-year degree. You could take a dozen of them and still pay less than you would for a traditional degree program. Better yet, each course laser-focused on providing only the skills and knowledge you need to be a better IT professional.
Training That Pays for Itself
One more thing you should know about certification training is that it is training designed to pay for itself. We don’t think there is anything wrong with a college degree program if that’s what a person wants to pursue. But how much of the knowledge learned in such programs, particularly during the first few years of liberal arts, is actually applicable to real-world employment? How much of it is needed day-to-day?
What ProTrain teaches through our online certification courses is job-ready knowledge. The skills we teach are already demanded by their associated industries. Everything you learn through our courses directly affects your ability to work and earn. As such, they pay for themselves through better employment opportunities with higher earning potential.
We get it. A college education is expensive. But that’s why ProTrain offers the online certification alternative. Check out our course selection and see if what we offer is applicable to your industry.
