Common Questions

Everything you need to know before checking your eligibility. If your question isn’t answered here, ask us during the call.

Do I need tech experience to start?

No. Many of our students come to us with zero technical background — we have beginner-friendly tracks specifically designed for career changers and people new to tech. We’ll recommend the right starting level during your free strategy call.

How do I choose the right program?

That’s exactly what the free strategy call is for. We’ll ask about your background, time availability, and career goals — then recommend the best path. You don’t need to figure it out before you reach out.

How long does a program take?

Programs range from short-focused certifications (60–90 clock hours) to comprehensive bundled programs (180–338 clock hours). Many students complete full programs in 3–6 months depending on pace and schedule.

Are there funding options available?

Yes. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for WIOA workforce funding, VR (Vocational Rehabilitation) support, VA education benefits, or flexible payment options. We’ll check your eligibility during the strategy call. ACT does not participate in or accept Federal Pell Grants or federal student loan programs.

Is there career coaching?

Yes. Career coaching is included with every program — resume development, LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation, and salary negotiation guidance. Our career coach is a Highlands Certified Career Consultant.

Are classes online or in-person?

Most programs are delivered via live, instructor-led online classes with hands-on labs. Classes are also recorded for 24/7 access. VA Education Benefits students are required to attend in-person per federal regulations; all other students may attend online or hybrid.

What certifications can I prepare for?

We prepare students for CompTIA certifications (A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, CySA+, PenTest+), Microsoft Azure (AZ-900, AZ-104), ITIL 4.0, Certified Scrum Master, and Project Management Professional (PMP).

When can I start?

Start dates rotate throughout the year. Some programs have rolling enrollment while others follow cohort schedules. The best way to see current start dates is during your strategy call — we’ll identify the next available cohort that fits your goals.
