What are the best IT courses and how do I choose one?
The best IT course for you will depend on your career goals and your current level of experience in the field.
- If you’re just starting your cyber security career, or you're looking to switch careers from a completely different background, it’s best to start with entry-level or foundational courses, such as the IT Foundation Skills. This course is designed to build your core technical skills and understanding of key IT concepts.
- If you already have some experience in IT and want to take the next step in your career, you might be ready for more advanced certifications like CompTIA CySA+, CISSP, or Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), depending on your specialism and long-term goals.
- If you have a specific role in mind, such as SOC Analyst, Cloud Specialist, or an Information Security Manager, you'll likely need a carefully curated pathway of IT courses to help you land your dream job.
These are just examples of the courses you could take at different levels and with different goals in mind. Take a look at our full IT course listings below to start exploring your options more thoroughly.
