About

Computer Information Technology (CIT) is the heart of most businesses and industries in today’s workforce. This program offers two curriculum options covering several certificate levels and a total of two diploma areas. Individuals interested in industry recognized certifications such a CompTIA’s A+, Network+, Security+, Microsoft’s MCTS and MCITP, or Cisco’s CCNA (through our official Cisco Networking Academy), can enter the CIT – Computer Information Technology path. During the CIT program, students will not only achieve national recognized certifications but also will learn a range of invaluable interactive and hands-on IT skills from entry level PC terminology to advanced networking, virtual and cloud infrastructures. While pursing industry sought certifications, enrolled students may take advantage of our onsite, worldwide recognized Pearson VUE certification testing center. Both the CIT Program and hosting the Pearson VUE testing centers creates a unique and convenient opportunity providing the CIT student with both innovative IT training and IT certification testing at our TCAT Huntsville campus. The CIT course length is 20 months. This program is located at the main campus at 355 Scott High Drive, Huntsville, Tennessee.
