IT training in Connecticut

34 IT training programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

9 schools offer these IT programs, and Connecticut has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 14 of these 34 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

Computer support specialists help people solve computer problems and keep networks running. Network support jobs usually call for an associate degree and help desk jobs for some college classes, though a high school diploma plus IT certifications can also be enough.1

In Connecticut, 4 of the 34 programs take students without a high school diploma, 29 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 34 programs here are networking and system administration (12 programs), CompTIA A+ and IT Fundamentals prep (10 programs), cloud computing (AWS and Azure, 7 programs), IT support and help desk (3 programs), and 2 more of 2 other kinds.

How to pay for IT training in Connecticut

WIOA funding can pay for IT training in Connecticut

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for IT training

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for IT training

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Connecticut IT program numbers come from

Which Connecticut IT programs are on this list?

These are the IT programs Connecticut approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Connecticut offers.

How the prices and results of Connecticut IT programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
