Rookie Training FAQ
-
How long does it take to finish the program?
The series of 3 Rookie courses are totally self-paced, so really, that is up to you. They are mini courses designed to be long enough to provide stellar training, but short enough so as not to be overwhelming to a Rookie trainee.
-
If this is a limited time offer, does that mean the price I pay can go up?
No! All trainees who sign up for Rookie training at our discounted price of $19.99 will never pay more than $19.99 for Rookie training.
All we mean by "limited time offer" is that we can't offer this kind of discount forever; however, once you are signed up for Rookie training at that price, your Rookie training price is locked in until you cancel. -
How do trainees work through hands on labs that are 100% online with no special equipment required?
Labs can be completed using free lab simulation software. Using this robust software, trainees interact with equipment and build networks just as they would if the equipment was sitting in front of them.
-
As the parent, am I going to have to teach my teen the curriculum?
Not at all! The online curriculum is written to be thorough. The accompanying labs help trainees gain a deep understanding. Additionally, instructors are available any time to answer trainee questions and act as mentors.
Parental encouragement is always appreciated, but we have the teaching and training part covered for you. -
Why Youth IT Academy?
We are a unique IT training program. Our trainees learn the same types of skills adults train in, but our program is designed specifically for teens.
We find that IT training programs designed for adults lack the educational approach needed for young minds to truly master skills and the mentorship needed to push teens to the next level. Unlike many training programs out there, our curriculum is designed by experts in both education and IT, and we are passionate about seeing our young trainees grow and experience early professional success.
