In addition to training opportunities for new IT teachers, The Centers for Quality Teaching and Learning™ offers free state and regional workshops for teachers participating in our Computer Engineering and Networking programs. Administrators and tech staff from participating schools are also invited to attend for free.

QTL's curriculum is changing for 2007-08 to reflect the udpated A+ structure from CompTIA! If you're a participating QTL teacher, now's the time to get up to speed on the content that has changed since you first went through training.
