"My experience when it came to learning at ACI was really good, actually. I was able to obtain my Network+ cert before the end of my program and it allowed me to get a job at a local technology company doing network admin work and help desk work. You took me from knowing little to nothing and now I am able to speak knowledgeably to people who have been in IT for years."
