You might be the person everyone calls when the computer plays up. This course turns that into skills you can use at work: networks, the software every office runs on, and the basics of keeping systems safe. Online, at your own pace.
You do not need a background in tech. The course starts with the basics and builds up: how networks talk to each other, how to look after files and data, and where IT is heading. A first step into the field, without years of study.
Already working with computers all day? Fill the gaps. Spreadsheets past the basics, databases, presentations, networks and cyber safety. Handy skills for the parts of your job you have been winging.
Lessons are short videos you watch on demand, so you can fit study into the gaps in your week. Retake assessments as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.
IT skills get used in every workplace: offices, schools, clinics, warehouses and small businesses. The work is easy to picture: sorting out a login, setting up a new laptop, fixing the spreadsheet nobody else can, keeping files where people can find them.
Taking the call, working out the problem, getting someone back up and running. The troubleshooting and software skills here are used all day.
Looking after the computers, software and data a workplace depends on. A common first job in IT.
Keeping the network running. The communication and network module is your grounding for it, with experience built on top.
The later step: managing systems across a business. Support work usually comes first, and these basics still count as you move up.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Cybersecurity and data analysis roles usually need further training on top.
Eleven modules, from how IT fits together to the software you use every day.
Here is what stands out in this course.
Word processing, presentations, spreadsheets from the basics through to navigating and editing, and storing data in a database. The everyday tools, used the way work uses them.
You cover communication and networks, plus the essentials of keeping systems safe. Enough to manage systems, sort out problems, and know what a threat looks like.
One-on-one mentor support from someone with industry experience. Tutor help by email or phone Monday to Friday, and live chat 7 days a week.
Short videos instead of dense textbooks, taught on demand. Around twenty study hours all up, with twelve months to work through it.
