Introduction to Information Technology

Students are offered a hands-on introduction to the various information technology studies available through APS including multimedia production and presentation skills, computer software applications, network administration, programming languages, operating systems, and computer hardware. They will explore IT as a career area and will be able to make an informed choice of advanced IT study, particularly for the IT sequences that lead to industry certification such as A+, Network+, CNA, and the Cisco Academy. With successful completion of the course, students are prepared to pursue further study in the information technology that leads to dual enrolled college courses at Northern Virginia Community College that apply toward the Associates of Science in Information Technology or the Associates of Applied Science in Information Technology at NOVA.
