Program Benefits


Remington College’s implementation of the Microsoft IT Academy program combines a traditional college degree with Microsoft's certification-specific training. This creates a program that Remington College believes is distinctive in the IT education industry and the workplace.

Additionally, Remington College has included several other technology standards in this program providing a wide-ranging educational experience for its IT students. They include:

  • Six Potential Microsoft Certifications


    The Microsoft IT Academy courses Remington College has selected are designed to help prepare students for the Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) and Microsoft Certified System Administrator (MCSA) certifications. Attaining the MCDST requires passing two specific Microsoft Certified Professional exams.

    There are two paths to potentially earn an MCSA. One path requires the MCDST and three additional exams. The other path does not require the MCDST, but requires passing four certification exams. Click here for additional Microsoft certification information.

  • Prestige of a Degree


    In as little as 24 months students can earn Six Microsoft certifications, while working toward a Computer and Network Administration degree.

  • Microsoft Official Academic Course


    LaptopThe Microsoft Official Academic Course (MOAC) is the basis for all of the Remington IT Academy courses. The MOAC is a complete package of learning tools providing IT Academy instructors with items like coordinated textbooks, PowerPoint presentations and standardized lab setups. Students benefit from a consistent Microsoft approved learning environment.

    Additionally, many courses have been structured to take advantage of Microsoft's Virtual PC environment.

  • Cisco Systems and Linux Operating System


    Remington College's degree program also includes several non-Microsoft-specific components. Some courses concentrate on Cisco routers and switches along with the Linux operating system and the Linux-based email system, Sendmail.
