Overview

College Diploma - Computer Systems Technician

As the Information Technology sector continues to grow in Toronto and industry partners report skills shortages, George Brown College is helping to meet employer demand by educating professionals who understand all aspects of computer systems. 

This two-year Computer Systems Technician program provides students with a broad and in-depth technical base through courses in the high-demand areas of system support, network administration and web technologies. 

The curriculum prepares graduates with the strong administration, troubleshooting and design skills they need for careers in IT.

George Brown invests in up-to-date networking, wireless and security lab equipment to help students develop hands-on installation, configuration and troubleshooting skills. 

Students use the NetLab platform, which provides 24/7 remote access to Cisco Systems' physical equipment. 

This investment, along with a hands-on teaching environment, was recognized by Cisco when the college was designated an Area Support Centre and Instructor Training Centre.

Graduates of the Computer Systems Technician program are prepared to write several industry certification exams that are in demand by employers.

Note: Students who start the program in January (winter term) will be required to attend classes during the summer months (May to August).
