Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Move Past First-Level Tickets

Help desk work teaches you a lot, fast. This is the course that lets you take on the systems behind the tickets.

Start From Nothing If You Need To

There are no formal prerequisites. A basic grip on IT concepts and networking is useful, and the rest is taught.

Learn the Business Side Too

Service deals, upkeep steps and small ICT projects are all units. That is the gap between fixing things and running them.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Someone has to keep the desktops, servers and accounts of a whole office in order. That is this job. You set people up, keep them running, and make the fixes stick.

ICT Systems Administrator

Looking after servers, accounts and the setup behind them.

Help Desk Support

Taking the calls and closing them out remotely.

ICT Support Officer

Keeping people and their equipment working day to day.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role and employer is different, and some ask for more study or experience.

Why This One

What Makes It Different

Three things carry this course. Remote support as a skill, the whole user setup, and the service side of the job.

01
Remote Support as a Skill

First-level remote help desk support is its own unit. So is fault finding across gear, hardware and software.

02
The Whole User Environment

Hooking up devices, setting up desktops, and helping users when an app plays up.

03
Service Delivery, Not Just Fixes

Upkeep steps, service deals and small ICT projects. The parts that make support run to plan.
