PC Troubleshooting & Repair

Student Testimonial

"In November of 2008 I was laid off from my job. I immediately began looking at Guilford Tech to see what courses were available to retrain myself into a new line of work. I met Bill Walters in the IT department and began taking classes on PC troubleshooting and repair. I fell in love with fixing broken computers and learning more. I took all three courses and began volunteering at the school in the labs to gain even more knowledge. That led to a local computer repair shop where I apprenticed and eventually began working at. Now I own my own business and have a brick and mortar store to call my own. I owe all of this to my humble beginnings at Guilford Tech and Bill Walters. The staff is outstanding and always willing to help. Thanks Guilford Tech!"
