I am Google IT Support Professional Certfied and I can actually say that it is a great Certification to get basi IT knowledge, for me it is the best starting point.
Great video. I just finished the IT Support certification. I've been a truck driver for the past 10 years, but working with computers is my passion. A of mine was developing software, but I've learned that coding is my weakness so far. I have intermediate experience with troubleshooting and hardware. I'm having trouble deciding between Software Development, Systems Admin, and Cybersecurity. Any advice on choosing between the 3?
It depends a little bit on your personal interests, but Cybersecurity will be a great long-term option that pays well and will offer a lot of different roles within Cybersecurity. On the sysadmin side of things it is good for long-term as well, but cloud and AI add some unknowns to the mix. Cloud is definitely the right approach for you, but I would expect some changes in that area.
Is it possible to enter the IT Help Desk/Support role without doing the hardware/repair stuff? I find that even though I learned about that stuff, actually repairing the hardware aspects of PCs probably isn’t my thing. I think I’d be my geared towards remote cust service and trouble shooting.
Yes, absolutely - but don't let this scare you away. Focus on software applications and the operating system. If you become a subject matter expert for a challenging software package, know how to use it, troubleshooting, installations, etc - you can carve out a niche that opens even more doors down the road.
Day good thank you for this video I'm from Namibia I'm interested in the thos course, is there possible for me to study the course for free because I can't afford to pay for the course. Please help.
Either one works and a lot of the content is overlapping. I would probably start with the Google Certificate as you will not have to pay separate exam fees and it allows you to go after Comptia with more confidence.
