To excel in the field of IT, it is essential to continuously update your skills and knowledge. Your ability to perform your role is regularly assessed on your Continuous Professional Development (CPD), and you will be required to undertake training throughout your career to earn enough CPD points to maintain your current salary and position.
While undertaking an IT degree can give you an excellent base to start your career, the skills you learn will become quickly outdated, and you will need to undertake industry-specific qualifications anyway. Many IT professionals do not have degrees, and vendor-neutral providers like CompTIA are highly regarded.
For those who do not have the time or resources to pursue a traditional degree, earning IT certifications or completing specialised training programs can provide a faster and more cost-effective route to an IT career.
IT certifications such as CompTIA A+ are highly respected in the IT industry and can help individuals demonstrate their expertise to potential employers. By obtaining these certifications, individuals can prove their attained skills and knowledge in IT and increase their chances of landing a job in the field.
Our IT Helpdesk Career Path program is beginner-friendly, specially designed to equip individuals with the necessary tools to succeed in the industry beyond the certification. By completing this training program, individuals can gain valuable experience and build a strong foundation for a successful career in IT.
