What Our Graduates Say

Marco Stephens

What to say about IntelliTec. If you give yourself to this program, truly, you will find yourself grown beyond measure. I can attest to this as I gave it my all and 6 weeks before graduation found myself before too many great job offers to pass up. So if you want to get what your worth go out to IntelliTec College and get what you’re worth! They have superb instructors.

"You will find yourself grown beyond measure"

The instructors not only know the material but have worked in the real world and have experience beyond what they teach. I earned five certificates: Comptia A+ (software/hardware), Comptia Network+, Comptia Security+, Linux and Microsoft Server Fundamentals. It wasn't always easy but it sure was worth it. I'd recommend IntelliTec to anyone looking to get their foot in the door in Information Technology.

"It wasn't always easy but it sure was worth it"

I graduated from the CST program and what I really liked about the program is that it allowed someone like me, who doesn't really have a background in that field to not only grasp the information but really retain it with the added training and lectures and the community of classmates. I really appreciate Intellitec for allowing me to start my career. I work for the Bernalillo County’s IT department.
