This certificate program provides an alternative educational pathway from the traditional two-year or four-year degree for recent high school graduates, students seeking a career change, or transitioning veterans seeking rapid placement in the highly competitive civilian job market.

The ComStar Telecommunications Technician Training Certificates meet all standards of ANSI, ASSE, and OSHA for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health and Environmental Training.
