Your Fast Track to IT Employment
Our IT Field Technician Programme offers an easy and affordable way to start a new career in IT. It involves three simple steps: Study, Gain Experience and Start Working. You can complete the training at your own pace, whether you’re working full-time, part-time, or are unemployed. Study, attend training and begin your contract work.
This programme is designed to quickly equip you with the skills needed to become an IT Field Technician. You will take the industry recognised courses to demonstrate your knowledge. In order to complete the programme, you will be required to attend a 5 day workshop in the North West of England with our IT contracting partner.
Upon completion of the 5-day workshop, your travel, and lodging will be reimbursed* (Terms and Conditions apply).
The Process
Study
To begin your programme, you will study courses that are industry-recognised and internationally relevant for starting a career as an IT Field Technician.
You will start with both CompTIA A+ courses, which provide the foundational knowledge needed to work in IT as a technician. CompTIA A+ is the globally recognised standard certification for entry-level IT roles. These courses will equip you with essential skills and prepare you for the 5-day workshop with our IT contract partner. After completing each CompTIA A+ course, you will be required to complete an online internal assessment to demonstrate your competency and understanding.
Once you have successfully completed both CompTIA A+ courses and assessments, you will progress to the CompTIA Network+ course. This certification builds upon the knowledge gained in A+ and focuses on networking concepts, troubleshooting, security, and infrastructure. You will also complete an online internal assessment at the end of this course to confirm your understanding.
Upon successfully passing our online assessments, you will be ready to attend the practical workshop with our IT contractor.
Throughout your studies, you will receive support from your dedicated expert mentor and tutor to ensure your success.
Our IT contract partner does not require you to complete the official CompTIA exams, so they are not included in the programme. However, as completion of the courses and our online assessments demonstrates you are exam-ready, we highly recommend sitting the official CompTIA exams to further enhance your qualifications.
Gain Experience
You will attend a 5-day workshop which includes an interview and assessment with our IT contract partner in the North West of England. This workshop will enable you to demonstrate that you are able to put your theoretical knowledge into practice as well as demonstrating to our IT contracting partner that you are competent and ready to work for them. At the end of the workshop our IT contracting partner will confirm whether you have been successful and then offer you a contract position.
Start Working
Our IT contract partner will advise you of the availability of their next contract which typically will be within 3-4 weeks.
Typically the work involved will be remote and field based. Many of the contract positions through our IT contracting partner evolve through time into full time permanent positions.
In the event that our IT contracting partner does not have any positions available or you were unsuccessful during the workshop, our internal recruitment team will work with you to find you a position.
Industry Recognised Qualifications
Our selected qualifications, including the industry-leading CompTIA A+, equip you for immediate effectiveness in any IT role. You’ll benefit from job-ready CompTIA training and LiveLabs, offering hands-on experience to apply and assess your learning. Although our IT partner does not require certifications, you have the option to complete these certifications with us. People with accredited qualifications are 10 times more likely to get employed in the IT industry.
CompTIA Network+
CompTIA Network+ validates the core skills necessary to establish, maintain, troubleshoot and secure networks in any environment, preparing you for a rewarding career in networking and cybersecurity.
