Confused About the Next Move? You’re Closer Than You Think.
Honestly, I’ve heard this more times than I can remember...
“I’m so far behind—I’ll never catch up with all this technology.”
“Tech stuff just doesn’t make sense to me… maybe it never will.”
“I skip applying to better jobs because I don’t have the computer skills.”
“I don’t feel confident enough to compete in today’s market.”
“I don’t have any real skills—why would anyone hire me?”
“I’m too old. Too young. Too stuck. Too scared. Just… too much.”
Sound familiar?
You’re not alone. So many people feel this way—until something shifts.
That shift? It starts with your mindset.
Your beliefs shape your reality. When you tell yourself you can’t, you probably won’t. But when you start to believe you can, everything changes.
And here’s the truth:
You can learn new tech skills. You can earn certifications. You can become confident in your abilities.
With the right training, tools, support, and instructors—you’ll go further than you ever imagined. Whether you’re just starting or brushing up on advanced skills, we meet you where you are.
You don’t need to “catch up.” You just need to start.
We’ll guide you every step of the way—so you’re not doing it alone.
Let’s help you become tech-savvy, career-ready, and confident enough to go after the job you deserve. The future is still yours. Let’s begin.
There’s more out there, and you know it. Like many ACT students, you're just looking for the right starting point.
- Feeling Stuck or Left Behind in Your Career?
- Maybe your job no longer excites you.
- Maybe you see others moving ahead while you feel stuck—without the skills or chances to grow, get promoted, or earn more.
- Maybe you’ve just finished high school but college doesn’t feel like the right next step right now—whether it’s the time, cost, or both.
- Or maybe… you’re just tired of struggling to make ends meet and know deep down that something needs to change.
Confidence in Tech Doesn’t Come with Age — It Begins with the Right Opportunity.
It’s Never Too Early—or Too Late—to Learn Something New
Whether you’re 18 or 68, now is the perfect time to build real-world tech skills that open the door to better jobs.

Reviews from ACT Graduates
“I took the Access Computer Training A+ course in January of 2022. Because of Covid19 we did everything online, but it was like you were in the classroom. My instructor, Mike, was a great teacher. He explained all the chapters in the A+ Certification Guide to a point where I understood it very well. While I was studying to take the exam I found an ad on a website for a help desk level 1 person. I figured I’d go in take the interview and see how good I would be before I took the exam. To my surprise I did very well. I was very familiar with the questions and the test they gave me. I got the job even though I didn’t take the exam yet. All thanks to Mike’s great teaching. Now I am still studying to take the exam even though I have the job and they put me at a level 2 help desk tech. I must say working with Kristin Pelletier and Mike McQuain was very good. They helped me with any problem I had and the group I was in was great and helpful too.”

“From our first conversation this lady right here has changed me, has changed my outlook on what I CAN do. I have always tried, throughout my years, to go back to school and I have but have always quit. (Life got in the way) Well not this time. I have mostly worked in an office environment and thought I knew Microsoft applications very well. Well Kristin showed me more than I ever thought the program was capable of doing. In the time that I have been going to her school I have gone from a 20% knowledge of Microsoft to a whopping 90% knowledge of Microsoft Apps. Word, excel, PowerPoint, Teams, wow that is another world in itself and so many more. Love it. If you are looking to go back to school, Access Computer Training is the best place to start. They guide you through it all and you don’t fall through the cracks. They are there to help you with the application process, the books, setting up the equipment and more. The instructors are amazing, understanding and help you the entire way. They make themselves available for group and one on one assistance. Don’t go anywhere else call Kristin, you will not be disappointed.”
