Get Hands-On Experience in Desktop Support

GateWay offers two pathways to enter the desktop support field, equipping you with skills in computer theory, assembly, troubleshooting, networking, security, and more.

In the Computer Support Specialist program, you'll build your own computer, keep it upon completing the certificate, and gain hands-on experience through partnerships like Arizona StRUT, which provides computers and parts for training. Repaired computers are donated to schools and nonprofits, fostering community impact.
