Working in IT offers a rewarding career with many different avenues you can specialise in.
When you start your IT career, you will most likely start working in a 1st line support or IT Helpdesk position. As you progress you will move up to 2nd line support and then 3rd line support. Alternatively you may follow a different direction after you have secured your first role.

To get your career started and get that first job in IT, you need to first gain the skills needed that will allow you to work in a professional IT environment.
Many job seekers think they can apply for professional entry level IT jobs in the misguided hope that a company will take them on when they don’t have the elementary skills organisations need. An employer will not spend their time and money investing in you if you have shown no commitment to investing in your own career and gaining the entry-level skills you need.
Companies need entry level IT Support and Helpdesk staff to have the fundamental qualifications that will allow them to troubleshoot and solve level one IT hardware and operating system problems (in particular Windows 7).
Having qualifications like CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+ and Windows 7 MCTS will mean you have the knowledge to effectively work as a First Line Support / IT Helpdesk professional. Even if you have little or no practical experience, the courses will teach you the skills you need and confidently prepare you for the official exams you need to pass.
Studying is made easy with heaps of easy to follow demonstrations. You can also stop, rewind and replay the information as often as you need.
So all you need to decide now is whether you are interested in a career or just happy to work in any old low paying job for years to come?
Our Career Advisors are here to help and can answer any questions you have.
Look forward to you getting the career you deserve!
