Where I Work & What I Do

Hi all,

My name is Greg Letts (for those of you who have landed directly on this page), and I work at the Computer Power Institute of Technology, which is located at 5 Mill Street, Perth, Western Australia. If you are interested in getting into the IT industry, and are looking for computer training courses or certification courses (such as Microsoft, CompTIA or CCNA) to get your foot in the door, you should come to see us and see what we have to offer to help you take that first step (I've got contact details at the bottom of this page).

My workplace is the WA office of the national company - we have other offices in all the capital cities around Australia. Feel free to check out our company website here - but before you read all that official stuff, I've got a bit to say about the company first!

What's so good about Computer Power?

Well, I work there, so it must be good! What - you want more reasons than that? Hmmm ... let me think for a second. OK - I've got it now.

Me, hard at work - at least the book's not upside down!

The people I work with

The guys and girls I work with in Perth are a great team - we've been together for quite a few years now and have a good time at work with each other. Between us, we have many years of experience in the IT industry. Most of us have been students at Computer Power as well, so we have been in the same position you are at one point - it's good for our students to have staff that know what they are going through.

The students I work with

It's very rewarding working with students and helping them to achieve their goals in the IT industry <yawn - end of politically correct speech>. Seriously though, I've been Instructing for over 7 years and I still get a kick out of our graduation ceremonies and hearing about what jobs our students are getting. And because our longest course is just over a year, our students are out working quickly so there's a constant stream of new people to get to know!

Our Job Placement Program

Our students are people that are just like you, either looking to get out of dead-end or boring jobs and into the IT industry, or leaving school or university and trying to get that first job in IT. Regardless of their background, they've all got that same goal - getting started with their IT career. Our company has been getting people started in IT for over 30 years - so we know what we are doing. We have placed over 90% of our graduates year in and year out over that time - click here to check out our FAQs about job placement. I thought our job placement was great when I was a student and it got me my first IT job - and I still think so today!

Flexibility

Want to get started straight away? Need to study at nights while you keep working? Or are you doing shift work and need a flexible schedule? Or maybe you need Austudy to help pay the bills? Or perhaps you have some other special requirement?

No matter what your specific situation, chances are we can find a way to help you. I believe we are the leaders when it comes to getting the best solution for our students - and here's an Evaluation Checklist to use when comparing Computer Power against our competition - see if they can match what we have to offer!

The Courses we offer

Whether it's computer programming, networking, eCommerce, or vendor certifications such as Microsoft, CompTIA or CCNA, we have it on offer. We've been providing quality computer courses for longer than just about anybody else - so we can find the right course for you. Click here to go to the course lists on our official website.

Want an IT career? We can help!

Gee, it all reads a bit like an advertisement, doesn't it? Look, all I'm trying to say is that I like where I work, the people that I work with, and the students that I'm helping to get their first IT job. I'm part of a team that have been getting people started in IT for a long time, and we're pretty darn good at it. So if you are looking to get into IT, make sure you come along and have a chat with our Careers Consultants and see what we can do for you!
