I'm curious about colleges that offer strong programs in computer repair. I'm more interested in hands-on experience and tech skills. Can anyone recommend some schools that are known for this?
While many traditional 4-year institutions do not offer programs specifically targeted towards computer repair, you might consider transfer-degree programs at community colleges or technical institutes, which often have strong hands-on, vocational technology programs. An example can be the Computer Technology Integration A.A.S program at Wake Technical Community College or the Computer and Electronic Service Program at Ivy Tech community college which are robust programs that focus on maintaining and repairing different kinds of computer systems and electronic devices.
Post-secondary vocational and trade schools like Lincoln Tech and Universal Technical Institute also offer Hardware Technology programs where students can learn to fix computers.
Another path could be to pursue Computer Science or Information Systems at a 4-year institution and supplementing it with certifications like CompTIA A+ and Network+. This might open up more opportunities in terms of jobs in IT support roles as well.
Remember, the best program depends on your specific needs and career goals, so ensure to thoroughly research any program before choosing it.
