If you’ve got IT experience but haven’t earned your certifications yet, here’s how to take the next step forward.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in your career, you’re not alone.
A lot of the people we talk to are already working in or around IT.
They’ve built experience. They know how to do the work.
But when it comes to moving forward—something keeps getting in the way.
You don’t have the certification.
Across Memphis, more employers are looking for candidates with verified IT certifications—not just experience. And that shift is what’s holding a lot of people back from the next opportunity.
We hear this all the time:
“I’ve been doing the work for years… I just don’t have anything on paper.”
That’s the gap.
Certification doesn’t replace your experience—it gives it weight.
It helps employers understand what you know without having to guess.
For many roles, especially entry- and mid-level IT positions, certifications like CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ are often what get your foot in the door—or help you move up.
If you’ve tried to figure this out on your own, you’ve probably run into a few challenges:
That’s where Tech901 comes in.
We don’t just offer classes—we provide a clear, structured path forward.
If you already have experience, we help you build on it.
If you don’t have certifications yet, that’s where we focus.
Most of our students are balancing work, life, and responsibilities while trying to make a change.
So the program is designed with that in mind:
And one thing people don’t always expect:
Tech901 is also a Pearson VUE testing center.
That means when you’re ready to take your certification exam, you can do it right here—without having to find another location or navigate the process on your own.
Train. Test. Certify.
A lot of professionals try to handle this independently.
They purchase courses, study materials, and certification exams separately—and costs can add up quickly. It’s not unusual to spend $3,000 to $6,000 or more trying to piece everything together.
Tech901 works differently.
Through employer and community support, we’re able to offer:
That includes training, materials, and certification vouchers.
It’s not about being the cheapest option—it’s about making this path realistic and achievable, while still holding a high standard.
If you’ve been in that place—knowing you can do more, but not sure how to get there—this is your next step.
We host regular info sessions where you can:
No pressure—just clarity.
You’ve already done the hard part—gaining experience.
Now it’s time to make it count.
You don’t need to start over.
You don’t need to figure everything out today.
You just need to take the next step.
Start where you are. Build what’s next.
