IT training in Maine
25 IT training programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
12 schools offer these IT programs, and Maine has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
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 Maine, 10 of the 25 programs take students without a high school diploma, 6 ask for a diploma or equivalent, 8 ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.
By kind, the 25 programs here are networking and system administration (7 programs), CompTIA A+ and IT Fundamentals prep (5 programs), IT (associate degree, 5 programs), IT support and help desk (4 programs), and 4 more of 2 other kinds.

Where the Maine IT program numbers come from
Which Maine IT programs are on this list?
These are the IT programs Maine 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 Maine offers.
How the prices and results of Maine 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.
