Our Founder says,
“I never met a homeschooled kid I didn’t like”

Internet Multimillionaire Tom Antion has been saying for years, “I never met a homeschooled person that wasn’t high above the average on brains, ambition and politeness.” He’s decided to help as many homeschooled young people as he can pursue a valuable and in demand skill in their pursuit of higher education.

IMTC is Truly Unique

The Internet Marketing Training Center of Virginia is the only licensed, dedicated Internet marketing school in the country (probably the world). It’s an asynchronous distance learning school. “Asynchronous” means you can do your lessons any time day or night. It is certified to operate by SCHEV – The State Council on Higher Education in Virginia.

Highly Marketable Skills

IBM CEO Ginni Rometty said that, “Employers can't find the skilled workers they need even though job openings are at near record highs.”

CNBC said, “Vocational schools are the forefront of preparing students for the 21st century workforce.”

Internet skills are in high demand. Every business on earth depends on and must have email, social media, websites, blogs, videos, shopping carts, message bots, podcasts and a myriad of other things to keep the business competitive. People with these skills are needed in every single business which makes for an unlimited job market. In addition, these same skills can be used in an entrepreneurial fashion to start your own business. Many people do both. They work for other companies in the beginning and do their own Internet business as a “side hustle” until that business overtakes their income as an employee.
