Frequently Asked Questions About Aspiritech Academy's QA Program

Is this a CompTIA Security+ certification course?

The curriculum is aligned with Security+ (SY0-701) standards and prepares participants with the foundations needed to work in a cybersecurity environment. Additional exam prep is required to sit for the certification exam.

Do I need prior technical experience?

No prior technology background is required, though some coding experience is helpful.

Is this program only for autistic adults?

The program centers neurodivergent learners, including autistic adults, and is also open to individuals with disabilities more broadly, in an effort to combat high under-employment rates seen in these populations.

Do I need a formal diagnosis to apply?

Aspiritech and the Aspiritech Academy team understand that diagnosis is a complex issue, and that there can be uncontrollable barriers and personal choices that prevent neurodivergent adults from receiving a formal diagnosis.

We validate and support self-diagnosis and informal diagnosis for the neurodiversity community.

However, you will notice that we do ask for formal diagnosis documentation during the Aspiritech Academy application process. That is because, in some cases, our partners or grant funders do require formal documentation for participation in our programs. If that happens, we will ask that you submit formal documentation if you can. If that is not possible, we will work closely with you to figure out an alternative, such as an Individualized Education Program (IEP), or find other funding stream options.

This approach keeps Aspiritech Academy viable and sustainable for as many neurodivergent jobseekers as possible. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about applying.

How much will this cost?

Aspiritech Academy programs are offered at no cost to participants.

The cost to deliver the program ranges from $5,800 to $7,000 per participant, which Aspiritech covers through grant funding, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) dollars and other funding sources.
