IT-training school earns honor for fourth year, highlighting nearly 30 years of dedication to the veteran community.
APEX, N.C., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nationally-Acclaimed IT-Training School Snags MF Recognition for the Fourth Time
For veterans mapping out their next career move, the school they choose matters and a proven dedication to helping them find success is critical. MyComputerCareer has earned the 2026 Gold Military Friendly® School designation, a data-driven distinction awarded by VIQTORY, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, that measures how well schools serve military-connected students. Retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, and loan default rates all factor into the process. Of more than 8,800 schools evaluated, Gold is where a fraction land. This is the fourth time the school has been recognized as Military Friendly®.
"Earning this honor is important for so many reasons, but ultimately it's important because this means our veteran students are finding success in our programs and in their IT careers," said Amy Onuska, CEO of MyComputerCareer. "Our team comes together every day to ensure we're providing the education and support needed to help service members and veterans transition as smoothly as possible, and this simply means that combined effort is paying dividends."

Built for People Who Already Know How to Perform Under Pressure
At the center of MyComputerCareer's veteran support is the Cyber Warrior Program. It's DoD approved and live-led, which means students learn in real time from instructors, not pre-recorded modules. In 12, 19 or 24 weeks designed for flexibility around work and family life, students pursue four in-demand cybersecurity certifications. The pace is demanding by design.
The program is open to everyone, military background or not. But veterans who go through the CWP will tell you the cohort dynamic is a big part of what makes it work. When most of the people around you have served, and many of your instructors have too, nobody needs to explain the culture of accountability. The shared experience sharpens the learning in ways that are hard to replicate and there's a better than average chance students will all be speaking the same language.
