Institute of Information Technology

What Institute of Information Technology does

Institute of Information Technology (IIT, branded as iitlearning.com) is a privately held, for-profit IT and cybersecurity certification training institute founded in 2011 and headquartered at 2700 Queens Plaza South, Long Island City, NY, with 101–250 employees. The institute prepares individual learners, corporate teams, and government employees for vendor-recognized credentials across CompTIA (A+, Network+, Security+, Server+, Cloud+, CySA+, PenTest+, CASP, Linux+, CTT+), Cisco (CCNA, CCNP, CCNA Collaboration/Security), EC-Council (CEH, CND, CHFI, ECSA, ECIH, LPT), AWS Academy, Microsoft, PMI, ITIL, Salesforce, and Adobe tracks. It also runs Master Programs that bundle multiple certifications, an IT Professional Boot Camp, software engineering, game design, and mobile-app development courses.

IIT's delivery platform combines five modalities — instructor-led classroom at the Long Island City facility, online-live via Adobe Connect, one-on-one mentored learning, self-paced streaming (iLearn) with bundled e-courseware and iLabs virtual lab access, and on-site corporate training — supported by a proprietary "Labs On Demand" virtual lab environment that replicates real Cisco client/server equipment over the Internet. The institute is an Authorized Pearson VUE Testing Center for on-site certification exam administration and holds authorizations from major certification bodies (CompTIA, EC-Council, Cisco Network Academy, AWS Academy, Adobe). Its go-to-market is hybrid direct-to-consumer (website enrollment, SEO, student testimonials) layered with enterprise and government channels (customized corporate on-site training, government voucher-funded enrollment).

Revenue is generated primarily through per-course tuition fees ranging from $1,000 (MongoDB) to $8,000 (CCNP Security), bundled certification exam vouchers, corporate and government training contracts, and student financing facilitated through Climb Credit and TFC Tuition Financing along with ITG, TAA, and TRA government voucher acceptance. Key cost-of-acquisition channels include government workforce-development referrals (DHS, NICCS, NYS Education/Labor, Workforce1, ACCES-VR) and a veterans education program. IIT is approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for cybersecurity training and employs one of only 511 triple Cisco CCIE-certified instructors globally.
