IT training in Idaho
5 IT training programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
2 schools offer these IT programs, and Idaho has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Computer support specialists help people solve computer problems and keep networks running. Network support jobs usually call for an associate degree and help desk jobs for some college classes, though a high school diploma plus IT certifications can also be enough.1
In Idaho, 2 of the 5 programs take students without a high school diploma, 2 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for earlier courses first.
All 5 are the same kind of program: IT support and help desk.

How to pay for IT training in Idaho
WIOA funding can pay for IT training in Idaho
Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?
Financial aid and grants for IT training
Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Idaho IT program numbers come from
Which Idaho IT programs are on this list?
These are the IT programs Idaho approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Idaho offers.
How the prices and results of Idaho IT programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
How reliable are the Idaho figures?
We leave out the share working 6 months later for Idaho: its rates sit far below every other state's.
