What You Will Learn

With the fast pace of technology it benefits the professional, especially the beginner, to prioritize vendor-neutral tech certifications to validate that they have mastered a single area or have a working knowledge of foundational tech skills. This makes you valuable (i.e. highly employable) to the tech industry as a whole and not just valuable to a particular job at a single company that uses vendor-specific technologies. Basically, the JumpStart IT Academy way, rightly positions you to launch a successful tech career.

That is why JumpStart IT Academy is excited to offer self-paced, customized training and labs to fast track your tech future! We give you the roadmap to the certifications you need based on your current skill level to ensure you are competent in the skills you learn, thus future-proofing your tech career from the jump! Here are some of the skills you will learn:

The foundational tech skills necessary to support a variety of core technologies in today’s business environments, such as hardware, operating systems, software troubleshooting, networking, troubleshooting, security, mobile devices, virtualization & cloud computing and operational procedures

The technical skills needed to securely establish, maintain and troubleshoot the essential networks that businesses rely on

The core knowledge required of any cybersecurity role so that you are equipped for intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs

The foundational systems skills administrators need to secure the enterprise, power the cloud and keep systems running using tasks associated with all major distributions of Linux

Essential hands-on server skills to manage hardware and software technologies of on-premise and hybrid server environments including high availability, cloud computing and scripting

Creating the user-facing components of a website or application (i.e. "the front-end"). This includes designing and developing the layout, visual design, and interactive elements of a website or application using languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Also, you will learn to work closely with designers to ensure the website or application looks good and is user-friendly, and also collaborate with back-end developers to ensure the website or application is functioning correctly.

How to develop the server-side of web applications, which is called the backend of a web application. You will learn to be responsible for handling data storage, processing, and retrieval. This is achieved through the use of programming languages and frameworks such as Python (among others). The backend developer works to ensure that the server-side of the application functions efficiently, securely, and reliably.
