An honest, cited answer. We make no ROI, salary, placement, or 'worth it' claim, and we don't track live job demand — where we don't know, we say so.
We can't promise an outcome, and we won't — but one structural fact is worth seeing honestly. ONET classifies entry IT support (Computer User Support Specialists) as Job Zone 3 (medium preparation): "Most occupations in this zone require training in vocational schools, related on-the-job experience, or an associate's degree." That is one occupation on one ONET page — the one cited below. We are not claiming it for entry IT as a whole, and other entry occupations sit in other zones. Whether a particular credential has a prerequisite is stated on that credential's own official page, so check the one you are considering rather than assuming there is none. What matters more than your age or start point is a realistic target role, a sensible learning order (see the roadmaps), hands-on practice, and persistence through the search. Start with the entry-role pages and a feeder-journey guide that matches your background.
What we don't know
We make no success-rate or hiring promise — individual outcomes depend on effort, market, and luck.
