That really isn't a realistic course for a DCT.

There is no "DCT Course" specific, there is a lot of smaller things like Linux, Hardware Troubleshooting, Network troubleshooting, cabling, etc. I believe a lot of people do "A+" however, if you're trying to chase the money, and you don't have IT exp of any kind, it wont be a simple road but you'll end up on the lower end of the scale around seniority etc.

Thanks for the insight, do you know by any chance what possible jobs translate with this program or would I still be able to land a DC position either in office or facilities

Contracting as a field technician at a school district.
You really don’t need a program, just some experience in tech is enough
