Computer Support Specialist

Computer Support Specialist is a two- to four-year certificate program at Laurus College, a private for-profit institution in San Luis Obispo, CA. This program is part of the computer and information sciences field (CIP 11.1006) and prepares students to troubleshoot technical issues, support computer systems and networks, and assist end users with hardware and software needs in professional settings.

Laurus College also offers an associate's degree in Computer Support Specialist for students seeking a higher-level credential in the same field. Additional programs at the school include Animation, Interactive Technology, Video Graphics, and Special Effects (at both associate and certificate levels) and a Medical Insurance Specialist/Medical Biller certificate. The computer support certificate provides focused technical training for students looking to enter the IT support field in a shorter timeframe than the associate's degree pathway.
