IT Support Training in St. Louis

A wide variety: everything from working in an office supporting other computer users to helping manage a global corporate network or becoming a field technician installing and servicing remote locations.

They all fall into the general categories of IT infrastructure management and desktop support.

Infrastructure management involves keeping computer systems running smoothly and securely at all times.

Desktop support means helping other people—whether customers or employees—use computer systems and software effectively.

Starting salaries vary greatly, but the average is about $30,000 per year.

We know life continues while you’re enrolled at Per Scholas. That’s why we’re teaming up with Ascent, a trusted partner of Per Scholas, to provide full-time IT Support learners at select campuses to apply for a Zero Percent Loan.

Per Scholas IT Support learners across various campuses –  have the opportunity to apply for a Zero Percent Loan from Ascent in the amount of $3,000. Onboarding learners can apply 60 days from the start date through to the end of the 2nd week of the course.

Once approved, learners will receive three $1,000 cash disbursements – through Steady, an easy-to-use application that will be the payment platform.

Learners will not be charged any interest, late fees, or origination fees on their loan, ever. Repayment does not begin until at least 3 months after graduation and only when learners land a job earning the equivalent of at least $40,000 a year. Once repayment begins, monthly payments are low and fixed – $83.33 for 36 months. 

Please note: Admission to Per Scholas is not contingent on applying for a Zero Percent Loan from Ascent.
