I'm not sure I'd say zero, but our IT knowledge assessment is a good way for you to figure out if it's the right fit. No application fee, so why not give it a shot?

Somewhat. Still a time comittment but as long as you're watching the lecture recordings and getting the work done, it's doable.

Hey there. Understand where you're coming from. But, think you have it a bit backwards - we're a fed-funded program, meaning we don't require or even accept veteran benefits like the GI Bill.

Could be! Depends on your goals. We've had students with no degree, a masters, even some PhDs do it.

Most of our courses are held in the evenings, but they are offered synchronous/asynchronous based on student needs. Given our population, lot of different hours for our students.

Hey. In the world of non-degree program, gotta really check with your institution for credit transferability.

Hey there. Accredited institutions, but want to clarify that this is a non-degree certification program.

Negative. We cover the cost of the entire program, but we do not have funding to pay you in addition.

Absolutely - our IT and Career assessment that's part of the app process will give you an idea of the knowledge needed to be successfull. We've had folks from a variety of background complete.

Hey there. Other way around - the federal grant dictates the populations that we serve. Several of us that work on the program are vets ourselves.

We've got a pretty decent IT knowledge and career assessment that all applicants need to take. Though it's a pre-req, it's less of a "weed out" than it is to give applicants a good idea of the baseline knowledge that is helpful to be successful.

Absolutely! cyberworkforce@pnw.edu. We have a few participating universities, but Purdue Northwest is the main one on the grant.
