In July 2025, I was laid off from my job and wasn’t sure what direction to take next. I wanted a career that offered stability and growth, and that’s when I decided to pursue cybersecurity through MD Technical. I completed the Security+ course first, which gave me the foundational knowledge I needed to pass the certification exam. The instructors made complex topics easy to understand and supported me every step of the way. From there, I went on to complete the RMF training, which helped me understand the compliance side of cybersecurity — skills that are already helping me in my career. Shortly after finishing both programs, I was able to earn my Security+ certification and land a job in cybersecurity. What started as a setback ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I’m grateful to MD Technical for giving me the tools and confidence to make this transition successfully.

Hi guys! I’m so excited to announce that I’ve sat for and successfully passed my CompTia SecurityX (formally known as the CASP 005) certification all thanks to wonderful staff and mentoring of Lance Durante! I recently joined the program after being introduced to the CEO at a recent job fair. It has been the best decision so far after graduating last December 2024 and lacking the guidance to navigate the field of cybersecurity. It’s hard work but well worth the knowledge I’ve obtained thanks to my instructor Corvonte Morales and the amazing mentorship from Mr. Durante. I would highly recommend this path and I’m so excited for the journey ahead. Thank you so much!

Before MD Tech I went to a 4-year college and got my degree in a major where it is almost impossible to get a job and earn the amount of money to make a decent living. I took this route because I had little to no guidance after high school and assumed that as long as I earned my college degree that I would always have a good paying job no matter what. Instead, I landed jobs that still paid me the same amount I was making before I went to a 4-year college. There were many times that I wanted to go back and earn a different degree and start over, but I stopped myself because I did not want to make the same mistake and financially hurt myself even more. Eventually after years of being at the same job with minimal raises each year I made the decision to attend MD Tech School and take the risk of going into the IT Field, something I knew very little about. In the beginning I had doubts but continued with my journey. The trainers were patient and readily available to answer questions and go over the material step by step. The program taught me everything I need to know about IT and in the process, I became Security+ certified. On my first IT interview I was able to answer ALL technical questions and land a job that doubled my salary. MD tech gave me the courage to start over again and change my life. My only regret now is that I didn’t sign up sooner. Thank you, MD Technical School, for giving me my second chance.

Mr. Durante, I want to thank you for providing me the opportunity of a lifetime. My life has changed forever! MD Tech Solutions provided an amazing level of hands on Network Engineering experience that positioned me to a $100,000+ salary. When the opportunity to train with MD Tech Solutions was presented to me, I was working as a manager earning $30,000. However, my peers were very successful. I was open to new opportunities and the IT field was and is trending and in demand. After completing what I consider a 5 Star training program I completed my CCNA and Security + certifications. I am now working in the Information Technology industry at Andrew Airforce Base as a Network Engineer making $110,000 a year! With these certifications I literally receive calls every day from companies for Network Engineer positions. I look forward to continued work with MD Tech and to give back by training our future Network Engineer’s.
