I am on my way to obtaining my cyber security degree with CIAT. I never thought going to college would be possible for someone my age, especially for an IT degree. CIAT has been an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to be better at what they do in the IT field.

I wanted training and certification in the Cybersecurity field. At CIAT, I am receiving that education and so much more. The professors, administration and all staff are extremely dedicated to my education and making sure I am doing my best and succeeding. The classes are intense and fast paced, and very informative. I enjoy immensely each class I take and what I am learning. CIAT is definitely setting me on the right track for a future in Cybersecurity.
