IT Support Boot Camp (with 2 CompTIA Exams)

If you’re looking to rapidly launch your IT support career, this might be for you. This is a very intensive training course, which is why it’s called a boot camp course. Learners have six months to complete it and take the exams. This course is also ideal for current IT Support workers wishing to brush up on their support and technical skills.

This course is primarily aimed at absolute beginners to IT who want to start a career in IT Support or just develop their skills in this area. The course assumes you have no technical knowledge of IT whatsoever. To understand what IT Technicians do and perform it at a technical level, you must first possess an understanding of basic IT literacy as well as certain technologies, which you will be taught through this course. Through this course, you will gain a globally recognised certification from CompTIA: the CompTIA A+. You will also possess a set of technical skills you can use to get work in a variety of other IT job roles. These are discussed further down the page.

From the beginning, we teach you about basic IT literacy, basic software features and functions, basic networking, operating systems, and basic IT security. From there, the course steps up a notch focusing on these areas in more depth and exploring new areas such as cloud computing, networking, and operating systems. As you progress through the various stages, your support skills will gradually develop.

Course access period: 6 months online access

Average salary for IT Support Technician: £30,000 p.a.

How does this boot camp course work?

This course is made up of three main resources as shown below. Each certification course has as its own set of resources, i.e. 1 x online course, 1 x MeasureUP practice exam, 1 x official exam (only applicable to CompTIA Network+). Each resource is designed to work in conjunction with each other to ensure the successful path to certification. You will complete one course and practice test, then repeat the process for the remaining courses. Once you have passed the exams, you will receive two certifications from CompTIA. Read below to learn more about the resources in this boot camp course.

Video Learning

Tutors use diagrams and illustrations to teach the video based classes, as well as giving demonstrations of equipment. Lessons are pre-recorded allowing you to fast-forward, rewind and pause at any time throughout the lessons. Videos can be viewed on different devices including a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, and smart phone.

MeasureUP Practice Exams

After working your way through each course, you should be ready to start revising for your official exams. To do this, we provide you with MeasureUP practice tests. MeasureUP practice tests are authorised by CompTIA. These are the closest experience to the actual exam you’ll be taking.

Official CompTIA Exams

Having confidently passed the practice tests, you will be ready to sit the official CompTIA exams – which we will book on your behalf. You will do these at your local testing center, which we will locate for you. There are testing centers all over the country.

How long will it take me to complete the boot camp course?

This course comprises of over 150 hours of video tutorials; and 100+ hours of practice test material. How soon you can complete the course is dependent on several factors such as the amount of time you can dedicate to the course each week, and how quickly you absorb information. Revision for each exam will take a minimum of 2 weeks. We recommend you spend at least 10 hours on each course per week to be able to finish it within the six month time allowance. You will have full access to the course material and resources for 6 months and must take your exams within this period. As there are six courses in total, you should aim to finish one course per month or less. The CompTIA IT Fundamentals course can be completed within 10 days or less. Don’t forget this is an intensive boot camp course. You’ll need to put in the hours to finish it in time.

This course is primarily aimed at absolute beginners to IT who want to start a career in IT Support or just develop their skills in this area.
