While there, he listened to a presentation by Dr. Sharon Setterlind, Dean of the College of Computer &amp; Information Technology Department and Nancy Russell, the Program Coordinator, as they spoke about the certificate and degree programs that are offered by the department.<\/p>\n<p>Originally from Arkansas,\u00a0Porter has always had a love for programming. Once he moved to Florida in 1999, he formally started programming.<\/p>\n<h3>Program prepares students to pass NET+ certification exam<\/h3>\n<p>Whether degree or certificate seeking, students are required to complete all courses within a program before taking the industry certification exams. In Porter\u2019s case, he took the NET+ exam and passed. He said that intense study, preparatory classes and simulations contributed to his success. He especially emphasized the importance of taking a prep class such as the one he took with Dwayne Josephson, an adjunct instructor who works at SPC\u2019s Corporate Training Center in Largo. He mentioned that the course was helpful since it allowed him to brush up on his weak areas. Flashcards were also utilized as a memory tool.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Porter is finishing up his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spcollege.edu\/Computer_Web_Programming_and_Analysis_AS_Degree\/\">A.S. Degree in Computer Programming &amp; Analysis<\/a>. Next, he plans to pursue SPC&#8217;s Smart Choice Bachelor&#8217;s Degree, adding a B.A.S. Degree in Technology and Development Management for only $10,000. Learn more about this degree at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spcollege.edu\/10k\">www.spcollege.edu\/10k<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels good when you can look at your certificate and say you know what you are doing,&#8221; said Porter. &#8220;When you can show a hiring manager a certificate, it shows that you can do the job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He encourages all who plan to pursue industry certifications to \u201cstudy and study more. Find practice exams where you can, do simulations when available and go to prep classes to clarify understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPC&#8217;s technology degree and certificate programs prepare students to pass the NET+ certification exam and other IT industry certifications.
