About

IT Certificate Programs offered through the Center for Professional Development (CPD) of Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) are semester long training classes designed for working professionals who are either looking to upgrade their IT and IT management skills or make a career change into the field of computer technology and/or technology management.

IT specific classes are a combination of lecture and lab allowing for hands-on practice of skills and concepts presented. All classes are taught by IT professionals who enhance the learning process with real world knowledge and experience. Classes may be taken as individual certificate programs, as credit towards a Bachelor or Master's degree in Information Technology & Management at the Illinois Institute of Technology, or as a three certificate program sequence awarding the participant a Master Certificate in Computer Security.

Admission to these programs is based upon background and experience rather than academic prerequisites. Let us help you get started by applying today!
