for consumers, businesses and academic organizations worldwide. The company was founded in 1999
and its headquarters is based in Needham, Massachusetts. It’s also a Registered Education Provider
with the Project Management Institute (PMI).
Through Career Academy's new $99 Certified Learner Membership, students are provided with self-
paced and on-demand video training that allows students to pause, re-watch videos, or even skip
around if they so choose. At the end of each course, the student is given a review quiz to assess
how well they absorbed the material, so as to ensure that the student has a firm understanding of
the course’s most important concepts. What’s more is that Career Academy offers training that
caters to all levels of expertise from beginner to advanced. Finally, Career Academy, in
association with American Business and Technology University, allows members to earn up to 30
college credits towards various Associate and Bachelors Degree programs, another innovative
advantage of the Certified Learner Membership.
Major features of Career Academy’s online on-demand training program include the following:
- Access to over 1,400+ online video courses covering IT, Cyber Security and Project Management
Certification training

- On-screen demonstrations performed by certified instructors
- Over 10,000+ review quiz questions
- University Certificates of Completion

While training must be accessed through a browser on all devices, the site is 100% mobile
compatible and easy to navigate. It should be noted that course lectures are not available for
download. However, the workbooks are available in PDF format and allow the student to follow along
with video lectures and take notes.
In summary, Career Academy's online on-demand training is a excellent overall value, particularly
considering the timely courses offered in information technology and project management. The
online courses or training is presented in an easy to view professional format (including step-
by-step demonstrations of systems configuration and maintenance procedures) and can be viewed on
most mobile devices, including the less popular Windows Phone. Finally, IT professionals, project
managers and knowledge workers in general can utilize Career Academy’s extensive online catalog of
training videos on unlimited basis for a modest annual fee of $99 per year. All in all, it's a
great value and convenience in IT training.
