IT Support Specialist Certificate Program

Momentum’s IT Support Specialist Certificate Program is your accelerated pathway to an entry-level job in Information Technology.

As a licensed career college, and a local charity, we are able to offer tuition support for individuals who qualify (see criteria below). Pay as little as $500 up front for training, and only pay the tuition balance monthly once you’ve found a job. This will ensure you never have to be in debt for a program that didn’t lead to a job.

In this 5-month (20-week) program, you will complete 3 components of training:

• 1) Technical Certifications – achieve 4 technical certifications that are in high demand by Calgary employers, including:
  • CompTIA A+
  • MS 365 Fundamentals
  • MS Security, Compliance and Identity Fundamentals
  • MS Azure Fundamentals
• 2) Workplace skills – through workshops and one-on-one coaching, you will learn the workplace and job search skills you need to find and maintain your desired job in IT.
• 3) Work experience practicum – Momentum employment coaches will find you a paid work experience practicum for 8 weeks at a Calgary employer partner company.
