The Instructors at EdNet Career Institute are proud to offer a unique hands-on computer learning system. Upon completion each Microsoft Courseware Module and passing the related exam, students prove their competency by performing the tasks associated with that exam. Through rigorous exercises in a monitored environment, students gain practical ability as they progress through our intern residency. Developed by Cliff Myers, a Microsoft Certified Trainer and highly regarded IT instructor, the EdNet Undergraduate A.D.E.P.T. Program not only aids students in self-assessment, but also enables them to demonstrate their newly acquired skills and expertise. Additionally, employers recognize these skills as being equal to real-world expedience, and are assured of employee excellence.
A stepped approach to hands-on proficiency.
As you know there are many "paper" engineers in the IT field. This happens when a student equates book knowledge with actual hands-on experience. Our muti-tiered approach builds this experience in a concrete way, lending itself to each student's individual pace.
Based on the Kenpo Karate system, new candidates are issued a "white-belt" ID badge to be worn while on campus. As students pass a series of lab exams, the color of the badge is upgraded. This lets the instructors and fellow students know where each candidate stands within the program. As they advance through the belt levels, EdNet students earn valuable work experience by assisting instructors and mentioning their juniors within the program. Upon completion of this residency, the graduate is awarded a private web page on EdNet's it is here that resume, registered bio , and other accolades may be viewed by the IT industry. The new "black-belt" is prepared to demonstrate real skills in a highly competitive industry.
