YOU DON’T NEED A COMPUTER SCIENCE DEGREE TO WORK IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

FROM THE MILITARY TO TECH JOBS: WHY IT MAKES SENSE
Veterans of the United States military looking for a post-service career have several compelling reasons to consider the IT field.

RANSOMWARE AND OUR NETWORK ENGINEER PROGRAM
Many people just assume that computer networks and the Internet will be there, run smoothly, and never be affected by hackers or malware.

LEARNING BY DOING: HOW CYBERTEX TEACHES IT
When I’m teaching Cybertex students about Microsoft networks, I like to go beyond what’s in the book. What I’ve found most helpful for students, in teaching them how a Microsoft network operates, is to have them build one from scratch. It seems like a daunting task at first. Many students are just used to memorizing information from a textbook and showing that knowledge in a test. And while having knowledge [...]
WHEN HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE IS TOO BIG A LEAP
That might seem like a shocking statement, but it’s one that I can attest to both from my experience and from what I’ve seen. A person can do well in high school, get good grades, and look like he or she is ready to go to college. But upon getting there, that same person who seems confident and ready for college can be lost to the pace, the demands, and [...]
THE IMPORTANCE OF CERTIFICATION
I like to think of certification like a driver’s license. You can be an experienced driver, and you can have all the skill in the world, but if you don’t get your driver’s license, you won’t be able to drive. In the IT professional world, certification is akin to a driver’s license. Having a certification shows a prospective employer that you have training in that area. That’s important because [...]

CERTIFICATION: BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY DOESN’T STAND STILL
Nearly half of Americans, according to a recent Gallup poll, upgrade their cell phones about every two years, as soon as their carriers allow them to do so. While others wait until their phones become “obsolete,” the nearly half of Americans who switch every two years are aware of the rapid changes in technology, and to them, a phone that’s two years old is obsolete. It takes two years for a full-time [...]
HOW MEDICAL ASSISTANT TRAINING ALLOWS YOU TO BEAT BURNOUT
Some medical careers are more taxing than others. Some respond well to the fast pace and unpredictability of an emergency room, but some find that month after month of that intensity can be too much.

Some medical assistants [...]

According to the Employee Benefits News website, there are “9,300 walk-in, stand-alone urgent care centers” in the U.S., with a typical visit costing a fifth of what an ER visit can cost.

HELPING STUDENTS UNLOCK LINUX
One of my favorite things about teaching students about computers is introducing them to the world of Linux. It’s an operating system that is in computers all over the world, as well as phones, appliances, and even cars. It’s incredibly flexible, and because it’s open-source, many people customize their own versions of Linux and then share them with one another. I like to point students to distrowatch.com, the website that [...]

CERTIFICATION: TRAIN FOR THE JOB YOU WANT
The changing economy and the need for certain types of education to qualify for certain jobs are sending a number of people, who already went to college once, back to school. For some, though, the thought of returning to college is a daunting process. Students need to fit coursework around a work schedule, figure out how to pay for tuition, and in many cases, coordinate child care with spouses, [...]

It’s the second most important thing we offer students. What’s more important to our graduates than [...]
THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO YOU WITH MEDICAL ASSISTANT CERTIFICATION
When you think about medical assistants, you might think about the people in hospitals or doctor’s offices taking vital signs. And that’s certainly one, important role that medical assistants play. In doctor’s offices, for example, the medical assistant is often the first trained professional the patient comes in contact with, and the one he or she spends the most time with. But students who graduate from medical assistant programs and receive certification [...]
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR DECEMBER KILLEEN GRADS
Cybertex Institute of Technology is proud to be part of Killeen’s community, where we opened a campus in 2008. We were honored to have a special guest at our most recent graduation ceremony this past Thursday: Killeen mayor Jose Sagarra showed support for what we’re doing at Cybertex, speaking to our graduating class. He drew from the well-known proverb, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single [...]
THE CONVENIENCE OF IN-HOUSE TESTING
One feature that makes the Network Engineer program at Cybertex Institute of Technology so convenient for students are the in-house testing facilities we provide. Rather than have our students drive all over Austin to pass certification tests in the areas we teach, we have testing available right on campus. The procedure’s simple. Once a student completes coursework in an area of study—let’s say, for example, A+—he or she requests to do [...]
WHEN YOU WANT THEM TO KNOW YOU HAVE SKILLS
If you’re looking for a broad-based education, where you learn a little about a lot of different subjects, college is the way to go. But if you know that you want to specialize in one specific area, with the goal of getting a job in that field once you complete your training, certification provides definite advantages over college. If you’re working in the IT industry, for instance, employers will first [...]
DEDICATE JUST 20 HOURS A WEEK (OR MORE, IF YOU WANT) TOWARD YOUR NEW CAREER
If you enroll in the medical assistant program at Cybertex Institute of Technology, you’re committing to just 20 hours a week, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. For those who work during the evening—perhaps even the second shift at a hospital in a non-medical role—it’s an ideal fit. But for those students who want to dedicate themselves to their studies, the commitment to Cybertex doesn’t have to [...]
SECURITY+: A KEY ELEMENT OF OUR NETWORK ENGINEER PROGRAM
It’s clear that cybersecurity is a huge area of concern for anyone who relies on a computer system. Concerns about keeping data secure were part of the most recent Presidential election, and we’re sure to hear about cybersecurity in relation to national security for years to come. But it also impacts us on a more practical, everyday level. If you’re running a business, for example, you want to make sure [...]
NETWORK ENGINEERING FOR FORT HOOD PERSONNEL
This article is from Matthew Zarling, director of Cybertex Institute of Technology’s Killeen campus. About one in four students at our Killeen campus are Fort Hood personnel. Those from Fort Hood who are in our Network Engineer program are there for one of two reasons—they’re either looking to move into a network engineering role as part of their military service, or they’re thinking about making a jump to a career in [...]
CYBERTEX: THE FAST LANE TO A MEDICAL ASSISTANT CAREER
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, we’re in the midst of great growth with medical assistant jobs—they estimate a 23 percent increase between 2014 and 2024. And considering the coming changes in health care and all the clinical skills that medical assistants have, I think that estimate might be low! Cybertex is positioned to get students into medical assistant careers faster than other schools in the Austin area. With 740 classroom [...]
YOU CAN DO BETTER!
Cybertex Institute of Technology has launched a recent ad campaign that you have may have caught if you’ve been watching TV in Austin. The campaign revolves around four simple words, “You can do better,” and features people in some common service industry jobs looking into mirrors to see the network engineer or medical assistant they might someday become. When we say “You can do better,” we mean that you can [...]
WHAT AN ACCELERATED CURRICULUM MEANS FOR YOU
When people ask me what makes Cybertex Institute of Technology’s Network Engineering program different from other programs in Austin, I point to the accelerated curriculum. We cover a lot of ground in our nine-month program, starting with A+, Network+, Security+, and moving on to other integral certifications in the field. At other schools, programs can take students anywhere from two to four years to complete. What that means for a [...]
IF YOU LIKE VARIETY, YOU’LL LOVE BEING A MEDICAL ASSISTANT
In choosing medical careers to pursue, some think about excitement, unpredictability, and the unique and amazing feeling of saving a life, and think they’ll find that as an emergency medical technician (EMT). I used to think that way—and while the work that EMTs do is valuable, it’s more routine work than people think: At the end of the day, a lot of stabilizing patients with heart issues and transporting them [...]
CERTIFICATION: A BETTER FIT FOR THOSE WHO WORK
The changing economy and the need for certain types of education to qualify for certain jobs are sending a number of people, who already went to college once, back to school. For some, though, the thought of returning to college is a daunting process. Students need to fit coursework around a work schedule, figure out how to pay for tuition, and in many cases, coordinate child care with spouses, [...]
